<p>I don't have experience with a prosthesis, but if you're looking for a good breakaway stirrup with some grip, the Freejump stirrup is the best out there on the market. Horse Rookie did a great roundup of 10 stirrups ranked on grip/comfort/price/safety >> <a href="https://horserookie.com/best-stirrups-for-jumping/">https://horserookie.com/best-stirrups-for-jumping/</a>.

You're welcome. I hope they work for you. I forgot to mention they are plastic and therefore a bit slick. I have a padded piece velcroed on the bottom, both for cushion and stickiness, but I can't remember what they are called. It might be a Cashel product. Maybe they will work for you as is.<br />
I know what you mean about horses affecting your attitude. They simply are the BEST therapists!!!<br />
Happy trails,<br />

Thanks so much Mary!!<br />
I will look at those stirrups for sure! It's so hard to do impact exercises, riding is the best thing I have found. It develops my muscles I never knew I had. I really need to find a stirrup that will be easier for both of my feet will go in and stay in.<br />
I am so glad that I took it up again after all these years. I have my ups and downs and know that with continued riding I will gain more strength and become fitter.<br />

I don't have a prosthesis, but I certainly applaud you for riding. Way to go!!! If it's simply a wider stirrup you're looking for, I use a hunting stirrup for wintertime because it accommodates my heavy winter snow boots. They are 5-1/2" wide, 2-3/4" deep and 6-1/2" tall and are available through <a href="http://www.valleyvet.com" target="_blank">www.valleyvet.com</a>. Hope this helps!<br />
