A stirrup iron 1 comprising a two part construction including a first, fixed part 3, and a second moveable part 5. The fixed part comprises a body and the moveable part comprises an L-shaped arm pivotally 23 mounted to the fixed part. The moveable part is pivotable to and from a first operating position in which a step portion 15 of the moveable part forms a closed loop stirrup, and a second operating position in which the step portion is located below and spaced apart from the fixed part thereby forming a foot-step. The stirrup iron further comprises a releasable locking mechanism 17, a foot plate 19 mounted on the fixed part and a cam mechanism 21 connecting the foot plate to the moveable part. Depression of the foot plate will cause the cam mechanism to act on the moveable part urging it from the second operating position towards the first operating position. |
