The stirrup bar is used to hang the stirrup leather on the saddle. The bar has the ability to close which is very dangerous if you fall and catch your foot in the stirrup, so always make sure that it's open before mounting up.

A stirrup is on a saddle that you put your foot in when you mount, and when you ride.
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.
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.
A fully mounted saddle is one that comes with stirrup leathers, a girth and stirrup irons.

a stirrup made of iron, used in English riding.
A Stirrup is a piece of either rawhide or metal, placed so that the foot can be stable when riding a horse. On a western saddle, it is normally attached to the fender, and on an English saddle, it is normally called a Stirrup Iron and is normally hanging by itself, from a nylon or leather strap.
There is the girth, which buckles under the saddle skirt from under the horse's belly; the stirrup leathers, which attach the stirrup irons to the saddle; and there is the martingale, which stops the horse's neck from tossing.
It was invented in Asia about 850 BCE. No one knows who invented it. I think the saddle predated the stirrup. The Norman invasion of England used the stirrup, which allowed relative amateurs to ride and to fight.
