The stirrup, which supports the rider on the horse's back during riding, is an indispensable element in equestrian sports. In the early days of the cavalry era, soldiers without stirrups were unable to stabilize themselves well on horseback, and the power of humans, horses, and weapons could not be combined. The emergence of stirrups liberated the hands and body of cavalry, and greatly promoted the development of human civilization history. Joseph Needham, an expert in the history of British science and technology, said, "There are very few inventions as simple as the stirrup, but they have had such a huge catalytic impact in history. The invention of the stirrup initially helped establish the feudal system in Europe, leading medieval Europe into the era of chivalry
In modern equestrian art, with the support of stirrups, knights and horses cleverly cooperate, sometimes light and slow, sometimes dancing gracefully. The tension and rhythm, delicacy and sharpness, coordination and boldness displayed when knights and horses cooperate are fully displayed in every move and move.
