An interchangeable stirrup system with an orthotic stirrup interface between a horse and a rider. Aspects include an improved stirrup, an orthotic riding boot, and an indexed interface between the stirrup and orthotic riding boot. Embodiments provide for a positive indexed engagement between the foot of a rider and the stirrups. The positive indexed engagement provides greater stability and control of the rider with the horse, improves safety of the rider and horse. An orthotic profile to the stirrup reduces pain and discomfort in the rider's feet.

A stirrup having a deformable and detachable structure includes a frame, a pedal, and a side arm. The frame is C-shaped and has a first end and a second end. An opening is defined between the first end and the second end. The second end has a first coupling portion. The pedal is disposed on a bottom of the frame. The side arm is made of a flexible material and located at the opening of the frame. The side arm has a second coupling portion. A connecting member is configured to connect the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion. When a sufficient force is applied on the inner side of the side arm to curve and deform the side arm, the side arm is rotatable relative to the frame with a joint of the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion as a pivot.
