Our story
Founded by Yann Dubourg in 2001 in Bordeaux, FREEJUMP quickly established itself as a pioneering brand dedicated to rider safety. Recognized for its innovations combining elegance, comfort, and performance, FREEJUMP is today the world leader in safety stirrups and equestrian airbags.
Celebrated in over 60 countries, the brand has become an essential reference for both professional and amateur riders. Its first major success was the single-branch X’UP stirrup, equipped with an automatic release in case of a fall, inspired by bicycle pedal systems. This stirrup led to the SOFT’UP range, consolidating FREEJUMP’s position as the number one brand for safety single-branch stirrups.
FREEJUMP then made its mark on the industry with the development of the first range of sport shoes and chaps, as well as the first airbag vest certified according to the NF S72-800 standard. More recently, the brand was pioneering the first riding helmet with removable temporal protection, reducing the risk of trauma to the most vulnerable part of the skull.
Today, FREEJUMP offers a complete range of innovative equipment, from helmets to technical clothing, designed to support riders in all disciplines. True to our mission, we continue to innovate to provide the best possible protection while enhancing comfort and elegance.
