- and
- biasing means adapted to bias the safety stirrup from an open configuration, wherein the second portion is positioned to project outwardly from the animal to be ridden so as to be suitable for supporting the rider's foot in use, towards a closed configuration, wherein the second portion is positioned so as to be unsuitable for supporting the rider's foot and the extent by which the stirrup projects outwardly from the animal is reduced, such that, when a rider's foot is removed from the second portion, the second portion automatically moves to the closed configuration.
