From the left side, with your horse secured- English Saddle: String up your stirrups, fold the cinch over the seat so it doesn't drag and take off. Western Saddle: Put your right stirrup over the horn, fold your cinches over the top, and lift off your horse's back.
A stirrup is not a part of a horse, but rather a part of a saddle that a horse wears. Stirrup leathers are leather strips with holes punched every inch, in which a buckle fits. The stirrup leathers hold the stirrups (on a western saddle) or irons (on an English saddle) which is what the rider places his foot in. The ball of the foot is balanced into the stirrup.
