in the manege, a couple of stirrup-leathers, mounted each of them with a stirrup, and joined at top in a sort of leather buckle, called the head of the chapelet, by which they are made fast to the pommel of the saddle, after being adjusted to the rider's length and bore. They are used both to avoid the trouble of taking up or letting down the stirrups every time that the gentleman mounts on a different horse and and saddle, and to supply the place of the academy faddles, which have no stirrups to them.
