Nettles Stirrups was born from the talents of Hall of Fame Cutting Horse trainer Ronnie Nettles. Deeply immersed in the equine industry, both Ronnie and his wife, Gala Nettles, have been in the industry for over 30 years training horses and riders, running Nettles Ranch, and writing books about western heritage and lore. Thirty-eight years ago, Ronnie designed the Nettles laminated oak stirrup and that’s when Nettles Stirrups was born.
