Horse-riding stirrup comprising a stirrup frame (2) which comprises a hooking portion (4) to a stirrup leather (100), a first side arm (6) and a support arm (8) connected to each other in an incident manner to define a frame compartment (10) engageable by a user's foot; a second side arm (12) comprising an articulation end (14) pivoted to the stirrup frame, and a free end (16) rotatable between a coupling configuration to the support arm and a release configuration therefrom in which the arm is spaced from the support arm to create a lateral disengagement opening (18) of the foot from the compartment. The second side arm comprises a flexible portion (20) which in the coupling configuration presses the free end in abutment with the support arm and which, in order to achieve the release configuration, allows the second side arm to bend in part to snap-disengage the free end from the support arm.

The present disclosure relates to a stirrup having an opening and closing function for preventing a body from being injured in a situation such as falling from a horse. The present disclosure provides a stirrup having an opening and closing function, which is coupled to a saddle so that a rider's foot rests thereon, the stirrup including: a main body part having a bottom portion for placing a foot thereon, a top part connected to a saddle strap, and an open part formed on one side thereof; and an opening and closing part for opening and closing the open part, wherein the opening and closing part has one end connected to the main body part with a wire, and the other end which is attachable to and detachable from the main body part by means of magnetic force.

A modified saddle D-ring having a loop of a varying radius for supporting a stirrup strap on a saddle. The stirrup supporting strap is looped around a lower span portion of the D-ring which has an upper span portion anchored to the saddle. The lower span has an upper surface that abuts against the saddle supporting strap and such upper surface includes first and second contiguous portions disposed at a preselected angle to one another with the length being greater than the width of the stirrup supporting strap. The D-ring includes an elongated curved loop extending forward at a varying radius depicting a parabolic curve. The elongated D-ring allows limited pivotal forward movement of the stirrup with respect to the saddle. One or more T shaped projections may extend upward from one a selected position at the bottom of the D-ring for adjusting and holding the D-ring in position.

A safety stirrup for horseback riding having a first semi-arch element having a first end integrally connected to a first portion of a base element of the stirrup and a second end comprising a through hole (4) for mounting a stirrup leather; a second semi-arch element having an end elastically connected to a second portion of the base element opposed to the first portion is provided. The second semi-arch element is configured to delimit a portion for inserting a rider's foot into the stirrup. The stirrup comprises a support platform for the rider's foot associated with the base element. The platform is removably attached to the base element and the stirrup and may have elastic interposed between the platform and the base element, configured to define a distance between the platform and the base element in an initial rest condition, and adjustment means acting on the elastic means for changing the first distance from the initial rest condition.

A stirrup design that reduces the chances of a rider's foot getting caught during riding or unexpected dismounting. The stirrup includes a foot plate, a U-shaped attachment shank, and a connecting structural member. The U-shaped shank attaches to a saddles strap and includes a first shank leg, a second shank leg, and a web shank. The foot plate supports the rider's foot and is mounted offset to the U-shaped attachment shank by the connecting structural member. The first shank and the second shank are oriented normal to the foot plate to horizontally suspend the foot plate. The first shank leg is positioned parallel and coincident with a sagittal plane of the foot plate, directly over the foot plate. For comfort, a sagittal plane of the U-shaped attachment shank is oriented at a first acute angle with the sagittal plane of the foot plate.

The second semi-arch element is configured to delimit a portion for inserting a rider's foot into the stirrup. The stirrup may have an elastic interposed between the end of the second semi-arch element and the second portion of the base element. Such elastic has an extension direction parallel to a main axis of the base element allowing the second semi-arch element to bend along the main axis away from the first semi-arch element and to elastically return said second semi-arch element to a rest position.
