Well actually a stirrup is on the saddle and it is the metal part that is shaped like an arch. It hangs from the stirrup leathers, and is the part of the saddle where the rider puts the ball of their foot into to help stabalize and keep them in the saddle.

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.
to run stirrups up its best to get off the horse or pony first then get the outer strap that has the stirrup on and pull it towards you then get the actual stirrup and push it up the strap closest to the horse then grab the straps and put them through the stirrup that will make the stirrup stay safely up out of the way.
