About Ophena:

We are Ophena, the high-end equestrian brand from Sweden.

At Ophena, we develop innovative products, which redefine safety, performance, and style for the ambitious rider. We focus on the intersection of high-tech and elegance;
rethink form and function from ground up; engineer for performance and reliability.

Our first product is the revolutionary magnetic safety stirrup Ophena S - the first
of its kind. Its open design eliminates the risk of getting caught. And its magnetic system enables a soft magnetic connection with the riding boots, providing the rider with additional grip and the extra bit of confidence. This magnetic connection is enabled through dedicated magnetic insoles, which fit in any common riding boot - making the setup easy and quick. And of course - Ophena S is beautiful.

“These stirrups are simply great, the magnets are extremely effective, strong grip and quick release, They also help with the position of the foot which means they fix the position of the whole leg, not to mention how nice they look! I 100% recommended them, great work Ophena Team!”

“The Ophena S stirrups, what can I say about them except that they are incredible? It’s really impressive the magnetic force they have, it’s surprising at first! They are light enough and are really comfortable, thanks to the magnetic tape in the sole our feet are placed correctly on, and it’s really nice not to get your head in the right place for 10 years ahah! I also find it a little "weird" to ride with the first 10 minutes, in any case for me because I mount the stirrups TOO at the end of the feet and so my ankles go down too low, the Ophena go, I think, improve my ride, I find that I also have more fixed legs (no idea why of how ahah), in any case, I recommend them to everyone!

“I absolutely LOVE these stirrups, definitely worth every dollar!! It took me one ride to get use to them and it definitely felt strange the first time I rode in them since my feet felt like they were glued to the stirrups but by the second ride they just felt like normal stirrups. I was worried that my foot would slip out of the open part but the magnetic system makes it almost impossible to do so. I am actually still trying to figure out how to get the stirrups off when I’m ready to dismount without reaching down and taking them off with my hand. These stirrups have also helped improved and make my cues a lot more clear to my horse because my feet don’t bounce around or slide in and out at all in these stirrups even when he catches me off guard and trips or decides to have a tantrum. I even had a chance to test the quick release of these stirrups on the first ride, since my horse decided it would be fun to give a buck while in the trot when I least expected it and these stirrups released right away letting me just pop right off. I haven’t got a chance to try them jumping yet but I bet they will work just as good as they do for flat work. I definitely recommend these stirrups to anyone that has a hard time keeping their feet still in the stirrups or do a lot of jumping.”

“I would definitely recommend Ophena simply for the fact theyre like heaven! To begin with, the packaging was beyond beautiful and elegant! Secondly, it helped improve my riding withing the first ride! Something I usually struggle with while riding, is keeping my feet in the Stirrups and balanced so my feet dont slip out, and usually that became my main focus verses focusing on my riding and my horse. Within the first ride, I instantly noticed they took that focus away from my feet and I was better able to focus on my riding, it was a huge game changer! Not to mention they feel super light weight once the magnets connect, almost like they aren't even there! I love them so much! And so thankful to have the opportunity to experience something so well perfected!”

“As a slightly disabled rider I have struggled for years with stirrups. Some years ago I brought the x-up click in boots and stirrups which were good and i could concentrate on my riding and not worry what my feet and stirrups were doing. I was aware that I needed to find an alternative as these were no longer being made and was recommended Ophena magnetic stirrups. I have used them for 2 months and can not fault them. The stirrup has a flat surface making it easy for mounting. They do not move when your walking, trotting or cantering. I would highly recommend them to any rider, especially if you have mobility or co- ordination issues where normal stirrups are a problem. I have been so pleased with my purchase that I have written to British Dressage to recommend them, also asking them to pass on this to Disabled Riders and Para Dressage associations. I am one very happy rider.”
