How to Install the saddle strap: Remove the two stirrup leathers from your saddle. The saddle strap is shaped like a Y, attach the Y-arms on each side of the saddle to the stirrup blades (loosen the strap to reach the stirrup blades). Then put the stirrups back on the saddle. The rider is responsible for the proper installation of the strap. Be sure to adjust your saddle strap correctly:
  • Not too long - could delay or prevent the airbag trigger (for example, if you are riding a small horse or pony)
  • Not too short - could hinder you while riding (for example, while jumping)
Proper installation is paramount to your safety and effectiveness of your airbag vest. TIP: Once the strap is installed, get on your horse with your airbag. Attach the carabiner to the metal ring of the strap and stand on your stirrups. The elastic part of the lanyard should be barely stretched.

Securely Attach Your Helite Airbag

The Helite Saddle Strap securely connects your airbag vest to your saddle, ensuring your airbag deploys correctly when needed. Proper installation is essential for your safety.

Installation

✔ Remove both stirrup leathers from your saddle.

✔ Attach each arm of the Y-shaped saddle strap to the stirrup bars.

✔ Reinstall your stirrup leathers.

✔ Adjust the strap to suit your horse and saddle.

Check the Fit


  • Too long: May delay or prevent airbag deployment.

  • Too short: Can restrict your movement while riding.

Before Every Ride

Once installed:


  1. Mount your horse wearing your airbag vest.

  2. Attach the lanyard carabiner to the saddle strap.

  3. Stand up in your stirrups.

The elastic section of the lanyard should be slightly stretched. This indicates the strap is adjusted correctly.

Correct saddle strap adjustment is essential for your Helite airbag to deploy safely and effectively.
