ABSTRACT:
An equestrian stirrup iron that swivels with respect to the stirrup leather so that in preparation for riding, the rider may bring the stirrup iron down from the run up position, pivot it to a desired angle in the generally forward direction, and insert his or her foot therein. A cylindrical swivel base is fastened to the top of the arch of the swivel iron. A cylindrical swivel body is rotatably mounted to the swivel base. A member having a stirrup leather opening is attached to the swivel body. The swivel body may be rotatably secured to the swivel base by a threaded fastener or by a welded shank or pin. A spring-loaded ball in the swivel base cooperates with a plurality of detent cones disposed in the swivel body. In another version, a spring-loaded friction member disposed in the swivel base cooperates with a friction disk mounted on the lower surface of the swivel body to provide smoothly variable angular increments of rotation. The swivel base can be moved down into the top of the arch to drop the silhouette of the stirrup iron.
