Here is a picture of a stirrup iron. A strap of leather goes through the hole at the top and attaches to the side of a saddle. There is one on each side and your feet sit in them. This enable you to balance while the horse moves, and to stand up in the saddle to gallop or jump.
Here is the pair to this stirrup. A 30 kg child managed to do the during a lesson.
Impressive yes?
