A stirrup buckle for releasably connecting a stirrup strap to the saddle strap of a saddle. The buckle is a two piece assembly having a base mounting plate with side flanges and a pivoting angled tongue lever member connected thereto pivotally mounted between the side flanges. The base mounting plate securely attaches the buckle to the stirrup strap. At least one post and preferably, a pair of posts are formed on the underside of the tongue lever member. The posts are spaced apart in a side by side relationship extending inwardly from the rear underside of the tongue lever member for insertion through selected spaced holes of the saddle strap. The posts located on the tongue lever member extend through matching slots formed through the surface of the base plate flush with the exterior surface for securing the two straps together.

Stirrup buckle

A buckle for releasably connecting a stirrup strap to the saddle strap of a saddle. The buckle is an integral one-piece member having an outer frame which defines an opening. A mounting plate securely attaches the buckle to the stirrup strap. One or a pair of posts are formed on spaced opposite members of the frame for insertion through selected spaced holes of the saddle strap. The posts which are located on the frame member that is adjacent the mounting plate, extend generally perpendicularly outwardly from the frame. The other posts extends outwardly from the opposite frame member in an opposite direction than that of the other posts, and are curved downwardly toward the frame opening, and are also inserted through other spaced holes in the saddle strap to secure the two straps together.
