ABSTRACT:
A stirrup extending device includes a frame slidable in a housing and having a stirrup attachment bar outside of the housing. The frame can be slid partially into the housing to move the stirrup attachment bar toward the housing to a retracted position and partially out of the housing to move the stirrup attachment bar away from the housing to an extended position. The housing is mounted in the normal saddle stirrup strap loop with the stirrup attachment bar extending below the stirrup strap loop. A stirrup is mounted to the stirrup attachment bar with appropriate mounting brackets to provide a nonrotatable connection, a partially rotatable connection, or a fully rotatable connection not available in prior art stirrup extenders, where the stirrup is free to rotate with respect to the stirrup attachment bar. The frame can be made as a single piece and assembled as a single piece into the housing as two housing sections are brought together to form the housing. This makes fabrication of parts and assembly of the parts easier and cheaper than in similar prior art devices.
