Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03070622A1] The invention concerns a device designed to be used in horse riding, consisting of a pivoting base provided with female fixing means so as to be secured to the rider's foot through a male fixing means attached on the sole of his shoes. The use of a single stirrup branch enables rapid release of the foot outwards. Said branch includes damping means so as to absorb part of the forces exerted on the stirrup by the rider's weight and thus avoid accidental release of the attachment. The automatic stirrup provides greater safety in case the rider falls by preventing the foot from being jammed through the use of a single branch, prevents the rider from losing his stirrups as a result of the horse's sudden movements or loss of balance through the fixing means and dampens the rider's movements, particularly when jumping over an obstacle through its damper.
