Stirrup

Stirrup was a gaijin device of the Ujik-hai tribe, a foothold that fell from the saddle, which allowed to ride with comfort instead to rely on the strength of the legs and arms to hold a rider to the horse. It provided the rider with the ability to stand in the saddle, allowing for what was called "free-handed riding." It was quickly adopted by the Ki-Rin Clan, the Rokugani people later known as the Unicorn Clan. Way of the Unicorn, p. 29
