Traditional Spanish Stirrup with Ship's Wheel Tread & Beaded Rim | BI-015

Traditional Spanish Stirrup — Ship’s Wheel Tread, Beaded Rim & Polished Stainless Steel

The BI-015 is a magnificent traditional Spanish stirrup in high-polish stainless steel, featuring the iconic ship’s wheel tread with a beaded outer rim. The Spanish stirrup — known as the estribo español — is one of the most ornate and historically significant stirrup designs in equestrian tradition, with roots in the working horsemanship and bullfighting culture of the Iberian Peninsula. The BI-015 honours this heritage with its most distinctive feature: the open circular tread designed as a ship’s wheel, with a central ring hub, four radiating spokes, and a finely beaded outer rim — a design that is as much a work of decorative art as it is a functional foot platform. The wide asymmetric arch with its broad solid inner arm and slender outer arm completes the authentic Spanish stirrup silhouette.
