Abstract
A stirrup for use in equestrian and other riding with traditional looking features has a pivotable footplate for ease of mounting and dismounting as well as for proper heels down, toes up positioning of the rider's foot while riding. A support bar extending between the side bars of the stirrup is included for adding strength and stability to the stirrup as well as to facilitate the pivoting action of the footplate. Side bar grooves also are included on the ends of the footplate which have bearing surfaces to provide a positive stop for the side bars such that the footplate is limited in rotation to a predetermined angle in relation to the side bars.
