A stirrup (10) has a pair of arms (14,16), an eye (56) on the arms for receiving a strap, and a footrest (22) on the arms for supporting the foot of a rider. A cylinder/plunger assembly at each end of the footrest defines its travel between a retracted position and an extended position. A spring (96) acting on the plunger (90) in each cylinder urges the footrest toward the retracted position, such as to provide shock absorption for downward pressure exerted by the foot of a rider. <IMAGE> |
