Stirrups are metal, leather or wooden elements that allow a rider to support their feet . These pieces are attached to the saddle through a rope called ation .
When riding, the rider inserts his feet into the stirrups to brace himself . This way you can stay on the horse and lead it in a comfortable and safe way. Primitive stirrups arose centuries before Christ in India , when they were pieces of rope to tie the big toe. Later, in China , they were adapted to fit footwear.
In addition, the importance of having the so-called safety stirrups must be taken into consideration. These, which also respond to the name Australian, are identified because if the horse falls, the relevant rubber is released, freeing the foot. In this way, it prevents the person from becoming hooked to the animal, something especially dangerous if it chooses to start galloping.
However, within the safety stirrups there are also others that are called stirrup bending systems. Basically, it should be noted that they flex forward and backward, which means that not only is a good posture achieved when riding but it also frees the rider's foot in the event of a fall.
Other important stirrups to take into account when practicing horse riding are high-end stirrups, which are identified because they offer great grip, because they provide notable comfort and because they free the foot in case the person falls from the horse.
The step used to get into or out of a carriage is also called a step. The running boards, on the other hand, appear in motor vehicles: they are the sector of a motorcycle that the driver uses to support his feet and the step that facilitates access to a bus (bus or bus) or a truck .
In the same way, we cannot ignore that there are also footpegs on bicycles. These can be called footrests.
In the field of engineering , the area of a bridge that transmits weight to the foundations and supports the load of the deck is called an abutment. The abutment also links the structure in question with the access roads.
For anatomy , the stapes is a small bone found in the middle region of the ear of mammalian animals. It is one of the small bones found in the eardrum , articulating with the incus and the membrane known as the oval window.
In colloquial language, finally, the idea of "losing your temper" is associated with losing control. For example: "The tennis player lost his temper and tried to hit the judge" , "We should not lose our temper if things don't go our way" , "A president cannot lose his temper under any circumstances" .
In the 17th century, this expression was collected, as it appears in Maestro Correa's Vocabulary, and it referred "symbolically" to when the rider's foot comes out of the stirrup. This document establishes that in the past the expression was broader because it was said: "losing one's temper."
