Stirrup extension

Abstract

A stirrup extension is disclosed comprised of an elongated frame constructed of a continuous rod. The frame has a pair of vertically disposed hooks at its upper end adapted to fit over the upper shoulder of a conventional stirrup on opposite sides of a conventional vertically disposed stirrup strap. A step is located at the lower end of the frame at a position below the elevation of the conventional stirrup step. An arm is secured to the frame and extends vertically upwardly therefrom and terminates in a horizontally disposed U-shaped hook which is adapted to engage the inner surface of the conventional stirrup strap. The arm and hook stabilize the frame and prevent its movement with respect to the stirrup and the stirrup strap as the rider steps into the frame for mounting the horse upon which the equipment is positioned.
