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 retractable stirrup extension for use with a saddle and horse. The extendable stirrup assembly includes an conventional fixed stirrup with an upper (top) foot plate for supporting the rider's foot during riding, and a retractable bottom foot plate retractably attached to the upper stirrup with an extension mechanism that provides about 4-8 inches of vertical travel (extension). The bottom foot plate travels easily between an open (extended) and a closed (retracted) position. The bottom foot plate provides a lower “step” for the rider to use when mounting the horse. A latching mechanism can be used when riding the horse.

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 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 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.

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 riding saddle having a saddle tree, a seat surface arranged thereon, and on each side of the saddle a stirrup holder fixed to the saddle, and which riding saddle is characterized in that a damping device is attached between the saddle and each stirrup holder. During the landing of a horse at the end of a jump, the damping device distributes the load by the mass of the rider applied to the stirrup holders over a period of time.

A horse rider's weight is at least partially supported by pair of stirrups suspended from the sides of a riding saddle. This weight is concentrated at the points of contact between the rider's feet and the stirrups, contributing over time to discomfort, fatigue, and injury. Ergonomic riding stirrups distribute rider's weight over a wider contact area, while promoting a natural foot shape and position. This effect is conveyed by a stirrup footrest shape that is complementary to a natural foot shape during a riding activity.

The present invention provides a safety stirrup and strap system for quick and easy stirrup adjustment for use with a saddle or similar type of riding equipment used during equine assisted therapies or in any recreational riding wherein quick and easy stirrup adjustment is desired.
