ABSTRACT:
A stirrup includes a crossbar, a first U-shaped member, a second U-shaped member slidably connected to the first U-shaped member, and a retraction mechanism. The crossbar connects two sides of the first U-shaped member. The second U-shaped member is adapted to slide between first and second positions on the first U-shaped member. The retraction mechanism is biased to retract the second U-shaped member from the first position to the second position. A method for facilitating mounting of a riding animal is provided. The method includes extending a first portion of a stirrup, climbing onto the riding animal by putting a foot on the extended first portion of the stirrup, and retracting the extended first portion of the stirrup in response to releasing foot pressure from the first portion. The act of extending includes sliding the first portion downward along a second portion of the stirrup.
