  • Mounting stirrup
    Patent number: 5347797
    Abstract: A mounting stirrup on a strap with a loop that attaches to the horn of a Western Saddle or the stirrup bar of an English Saddle to assist the equestrian in mounting the horse. The mounting stirrup hangs below the regular stirrup and allows a short rider to use their right foot in the mounting stirrup to gain access to the regular stirrup with the left foot.
