stirrups
Saddle's hanging loops
Stirrups are the metal loops hanging from a saddle that hold a rider's feet.
They provide stability and leverage for mounting, riding, and dismounting a horse: She put her foot in the stirrup and swung into the saddle.
In medical contexts, stirrups are the supports on an examination table that hold a patient's legs apart and elevated during gynecological procedures.
