For safeties sake no ,.Your stirrups should be pulled up before the saddle is removed and when you get off your horse at anytime.Horses can and have got their jaw caught in a loose stirrup,they've taken fright of a loose stirrup. stirrups should also be stored pulled up onto the saddle when not in use riding and the whole saddle dustcovered. I always pull the stirrups up before removing the sadde, so they don't bash my shins while walking.....yep pull them up before removal.
you have to pull up the stirrups?
AnswerPlace the strap on the saddle to transport it.
Your ment to because it protects the stirrup leathers.
Once you remove a horses saddle be sure to put the girth over the saddle and pull up the stirrups . DO NOT THROW IT DOWN ! THIS COULD DAMAGE THE TREE ( the wooden bit inside to keep it firm and a good shape)

on an English saddle, you lift up the flap where you rest your legs, unbuckle the stirrup, and move the buckle either higher or lower.
well you really shouldint put it on the ground... a saddle rack or bar would work better. but if you do so 1. Stand your saddle nose down on the fork. This position puts the weight on the very strong fork and doesn't cause any other parts to be bunched up. 2. Lay your saddle on its side with the fenders and stirrups lying smoothly. Make sure nothing is bunched up under the saddle. 3. Lay your saddle upside down with the weight on the horn and cantle. Fold the fenders and stirrups inward. DO NOT place your saddle down right side up, flat on the ground. This position puts pressure on the tree and fork and almost always bunches up your fenders, stirrups and skirts.
this site tells you exactly how http://www.wikihow.com/Tack-up-a-Horse or.... carry your saddle over to your horse put the numnah or saddle pad on the horses back put saddle on the saddle pad move the saddle forward until the girth is just behind the front legs tighten the girth on both sides pull dwn the stirups and get on and ride. lol. :)
Removing a saddle from the horse:You must first take off the girth. It's like a belt to the horse. Run up the stirups. Remove the saddle. Viola! - Brinkers
There are many parts of the saddle including the cantle ,pommel, stirrups, stirrup leathers, the stirrups, the tree... Check out this link:http://www.equusite.com/articles/basics/basicsEnglishSaddle.shtml
If by "horse chairs" you mean the contraption that sits on their back, the correct term is saddle. The "foot things" are called stirrups, and the stirrups are used to balance mostly, although you should be able to balance without them. They are also used in English riding to stand up in the saddle to post or to jump.
First you roll up the stirrups then you undo the girth then you pick the saddle up off the horses back.
