Best Answer

The stirrup is a ring, shaped rather like and upside-down D (with the flat side on the bottom). It hangs from a leather strap connected to the saddle. Horseback riders put their foot in the stirrup to stabilize themselves. You should wrest with the balls of your feet touching the bottom of the stirrup, with your heel down.
