A stirrup mounting device includes a stirrup attachment bar adapted for attachment to a stirrup strap loop extending from a saddle and a stirrup mounting bracket attached to a stirrup. The stirrup mounting bracket may be pivotally attached to the stirrup attachment bar so that the stirrup can rotate with respect to the stirrup strap loop about a vertical pivot axis. The vertical pivot axis is offset with respect to at least one of a vertical axis extending centrally through the stirrup strap loop and a vertical axis extending centrally through the stirrup so that the stirrup is offset toward the rear end of the stirrup attachment bar when the stirrup is rotated to a riding position. The stirrup mounting device can be used alone, or can be combined as part of a stirrup extender device where both the stirrup extender and the stirrup mounting device share a common stirrup attachment arm.
A stirrup mounting device, comprising:
A stirrup mounting device according to claim 24, wherein the stirrup extender device moves the stirrup attachment bar between a riding position wherein the stirrup attachment bar is positioned a first distance below the stirrup strap loop, and an extended position wherein the stirrup attachment bar is positioned a second distance below the stirrup strap loop.
A stirrup mounting device according to claim 24, wherein the stirrup extender device positions the stirrup attachment bar below the stirrup strap loop.
A stirrup mounting device according to claim 25, wherein the stirrup extender device moves the stirrup attachment bar between a riding position wherein the stirrup attachment bar is positioned a first distance below the stirrup strap loop, and an extended position wherein the stirrup attachment bar is positioned a second distance below the stirrup strap loop.
A stirrup mounting device, comprising:
A stirrup mounting device according to claim 23, wherein the stirrup attachment bar has a length with a center, wherein the pivot connection includes a pivot pin receiving hole in the stirrup attachment bar, and wherein the pivot pin receiving hole in the stirrup attachment bar is offset from the center of the stirrup attachment bar.
A stirrup mounting device according to claim 23, wherein the stirrup mounting bracket has a width with a center, and the pivot pin receiving hole is offset from the center of the width.
