The Better Band
The Better Band keeps your feet secure in your stirrups while still allowing a safe release in an emergency. With a safety-release buckle and a flexible fit for a variety of boot and stirrup sizes, it’s a hassle-free upgrade from rubber bands.
Better Bands are a safer, more reliable alternative to traditional stirrup rubber bands. Designed to secure the rider’s boot in the stirrup, they help prevent losing a stirrup during a run - allowing barrel racers to maintain balance, control, and confidence at high speeds. Unlike standard rubber bands that can break too easily or fail to break quickly enough in a dangerous situation, Better Bands are engineered to provide consistent hold while still releasing when needed for safety. Barrel racers rely on Better Bands to reduce distractions during competition, and to prevent losing their stirrup helping them to ride better during the run.
