Of course, I should add that I'm not sure that the image shows a stirrup. Aren't the rider's legs supposed to be braced forwards into his stirrups in expectation of the impact of his lance on the victim? But as the leg is shown bent backwards, to me this is more reminiscent of a saddle without stirrups.
