ABSTRACT:
An improved safety stirrup (10) which prevents significant rearward shifting of the stirrup body (24), thereby reducing the possibility that a rider's foot (F) can pass completely through the stirrup body (24) and present a safety hazard. The safety stirrup body (24) includes an upper suspension shaft (26) having a pair of spaced, descending stirrup legs (28, 30) and a lowermost footpad (32); the shaft (26) is pivotally received within a looped stirrup strap (14). Significant rearward pivoting of the body (24) is prevented by provision of a plurality of upright, elongated, forwardly canted cam members (38-42) extending upwardly from the shaft (26). The cam members (38-42) are co-operable with the looped strap (14) for inhibiting rearward pivoting of the body (24).
