Abstract: The stirrup pad of the present invention includes a ramp or inclined footrest designed to support a foot resting thereupon in an angled orientation characterized by the toes being above the heel. The top surface of the ramp or inclined footrest includes a friction surface to grip a foot resting thereupon. The bottom portion of the stirrup pad is adapted for removable engagement with a stirrup. The use of the present invention allows a saddle occupant, while riding, to maintain an angled foot orientation with the heel angled downwardly, thus achieving a safer, more comfortable, and more stylish riding form.
