This helped a lot thank you! I’m starting my first lesson soon! I’m just watching your channel and then writing it all down so I can remember it better!
I had been riding for 35 years & in that time I owned 4 horses. Even though I was taking regular lessons , between instructors with different mindsets & alot of riding alone I developed some bad habits- i lost my most recent horse horse 3years ago & just starting lessons again. I know from my time away from riding I can now start with a clean slate & your channel is helping me with that! Thank you!
Great video. Lots of tips like have calf against horse and toes facing his head I have been riding once a week for 1 year and have never been shown this!!!! Thank you
Thanks for this video. Been riding for years and no one ever explained to me what to do with my knee so this was a big help. Most of my falls have been while getting from the mounting block to the saddle so I now have a lot of anxiety when getting on, but I think the information from this video will help me out a lot!
Thankyou very much! I refresh your channel page every morning 😂 can’t wait to see your future videos this was helpful even for more experienced riders! I am looking forward to seeing a learning to jump video like I suggested in previous comments! I would love that sooo much also you should make March! 💗
ahh so happy i found this video! Again, my instructor did not show me the proper way of mounting the horse in an angle and i almost fell off towards the mane of the horse but rather to hold the reins and mane on the left hand, just step on the stir up with left feet and the other hand on the front saddle. i guess my knee was pointing forward to the saddle when i mounted it and nearly fell off. nobody corrected me and not even the helper who leads the horse. i was able to mount correctly with the other instructor without issues but that was quite some time back lol
Thank you! I'll drop my stirrup this time to make it easier for me to mount. I've been riding for 3 weeks now and mounting from the ground is still a problem
Tysm I was so scared to go to my riding lesson to get on the horse I love horses but I don’t know why I just hate getting on I get really scared but this video gave me a lot of confidence for my lesson so thank you very much xx
Omg tysm, whenever i gi to ride a horse since im a non equestrian i rarely ride, i always have troubles mounting on. And with this now im pretty sure ill know how! Tysm!
Thanks soooo much! I'll admit after time spent doing NOTHING but watching TV with snacks & Covid, I'm very out of shape. Still to get on as my instructor wanted with a tiny 12 inch step, was impossible. Now I have options for mounting that my instructor didn't give. I especially loved the exercise I can do to strengthen myself to get on more easily. Before I kept thinking, "What conditioning can I do to mount easier?" Frankly, I baffled as there's nothing of the same height as a horse to practice on. Now I'll get a step ladder and step up & down. Definately will use ALL your tips, thank you!
Good examples here, but one thing I did notice is that at 2:59 you had your right hand on the cantle. For anyone who doesn't know, the tree (frame) of an English saddle is somewhat fragile, you do not want to drop the saddle on the ground carelessly. Using the cantle to pull your weight up can damage the tree; it is better to place your right hand on the seat of the saddle. Hope this helps! :)
In my last lesson, my teacher does this thing that picks us up from our knee which I don’t feel really stable with but that’s what he does. The last time he did it i didn’t got on property and i sat behind the saddle 😂😭 i was so embarrassed 😂😂 but the horse I’m riding with is very calm and thankfully he didn’t bucked me or something 😂
So. I’m not having as much trouble mounting in general. What it is, is a mental block. I’ve been mounting just fine for 10+ years, but in the past month or so, I’ve just froze when I go to get on. I dont know if it’s because of how tall my horse is, or if it’s because I feel as if my legs will give out. People always tell me to just not think about it, but it’s hard. Is there anyway to gain more trust in myself in order to pull myself on? It’s been frustrating me a lot. And I cant take breaks or tell an adult. They just tell me the same thing. Just get on. So I was hoping I could find some advice here.
If you don’t have a mounting block find a log or fence but if those aren’t available yeah just go what she does! I’m not a beginner but I’m just washing up
I can't mount from the ground anymore, I need knee replacements and they won't bare the strain. I also ride western and adjusting looong stirrup leathers is way more complicated from the saddle.
The horse i am riding is very sensitive to bits and the movements of the reins. so if i take the reins backwards like this, she takes off and tosses her head. how do i get her to stand still in another way?
I've never been on a horse but just saw a Facebook video and this black guy put his foot in the stirrup the wrong way and the horse raised all the way up backwards and dumped his azz off 🤣🤣🤣 the other guy on the ground told him not to do that in that manner and he found out the hard way and it was hilarious lol
Mounting form a block is healthier for the horse back🐴 💕 If your in an English saddle you can try dropping your Stirrup to get on and readjust them once your on.
Hi😊 I always get on using a mounting block when possible. Using a mounting block keeps you from putting to much pressure on one side of the horse’s back and prevents back pain. I do believe learning to mount your horse from the ground is a valuable skill as there may be a time you don’t have a mounting block available. Mounting from the ground takes more strength. So whether or not you can mount from the ground depends on your level of fitness and the height of your horse.
you can look around for stuff that spooks the horse and remove that also remember horses feel our emotions so if we are nervous so will they be id say just ride with the horse it takes time and pratice and after a while you'll get confident
Have your horse in a small pen with no halter (if you have enough courage to then catch the horse) and just watch her. Give her time to relax, eat some grass and drink some water. You should start feeling relaxed as well as you watch how your horse is when she’s not nervous. Then you can jump into the pen, quietly and softly of course, and approach her. Depending on your horse, it’s a good idea to have your halter behind your back and a apple in the other hand. Feed her the apple and pat her. Make her realise there is no difference between you being in the pen to no one in the pen. You can put your lead rope that is attached to the halter over her neck so she will not walk away and put the halter on. Bring her over to a fence or something to tie her up. It’s a good idea to tie her onto something that will snap away if she really needs to go. So maybe tie some old bailing twine to the fence and then tie the halter rope to that. This is just precautionary so your horse doesn’t hurt herself. If she is a bit nervous around here, just talk to her and pat her a lot. You can then brush her and pick her hooves and spend a bit of time doing this kind of thing. After that you can lead her around the outside of the pen and randomly stop and give her pats. Keep reassuring her that she’s okay, your okay and everything will be okay! Do this until she seems happy almost, if you know what I mean! You can then take her off the halter and just have the rope sitting on her neck. Put a little bit of pressure on the rope (keep holding it as well) and start walking again, just with you, the horse and the rope that’s lying on her neck. Don’t pull the rope hard if she is being scared but make sure she understands that you want her to follow you. Keep walking around until you are really comfortable and you think she will follow you without the rope on her neck. Keep the rope in you hand so you can lay it on her neck so she follows you then you can take it off once she’s walking. This should work well and she will hopefully follow you around. Keep with the same direction and pattern of walking from when you had the halter on for now. Once she is being amazing and following you and everything’s good, have the halter in one hand and when you randomly stop to give her pats put the halter on or even just half on and then take it off. This teaches her halters aren’t that scary. You can keep doing this for as long as you want but now you might want to let her off the halter, (hopefully she just stays still while and after you take the halter off) go up to your house, have a cup of tea and a sausage roll and then come back down and then repeat this process. It’s all worth it!! After you have repeated the process (particularly the walking stuff) get your saddle blanket, let your horse have a sniff of it first and put in on her back. If this is all good put the rest of the gear on her (saddle, bridle, etc) and lead her around for a little bit in the pen and then if she’s happy take her for a ride. If she hasn’t been ridden for awhile, stick with walking but otherwise you could do a little trot or even canter. She should be fine. Take her back to your pen, take off the gear, give her a brush and stuff and then lead her back to her paddock. You need to do this again for the next day or two and then you can probably only do a small walk around for the next days after that before riding. It’s important to ride her everyday for about 3-7 days and then you maybe could miss a day without her getting her nervousness back. I really hope this helps! Feel free to ask any more questions! And remember you being calm is just as important!!
You know they are American when they don´t mount facing the tail of the horse. You should do that, because if the horse decides to move, you will turn automatically and can get on anyway. (You do need to mind not to poke with your toe.) If you face the head and the horse starts moving, you fall backwards.
Like she mentioned, it's actually healthier for their back to use a mounting block so you're not pulling on their spine. It's good to be ABLE to get up without a block, but not something you would want to do regularly if you have to pull on the saddle to get up.
I've developed a bad habit of leaning all the way over and flopping on instead of gently sitting. I dont do that everytime but I do when I'm nervous or, of course, infront of my instructor. I want to do better
If you ever want an explanation of ADHD, here is how I got here “damn it would be pretty hard to get on a horse….they are so tall……how embarrassing would it be as a man if I was ever in the scenario to get on a horse and I couldn’t……damn I should prolly look up how to do it”. Thanks for the tutorial lady, I’ll try and remember 😂😂😂😂
I hope this was a help! Feel free to leave a comment if you have questions or suggestions for future videos 😊
Love those 2 tone breeches you look great in them 😁
This helped a lot thank you! I’m starting my first lesson soon! I’m just watching your channel and then writing it all down so I can remember it better!
Can you please make a video on how to canter easily without any sudden shocks on the back?
Do you have a video on how to dismount? I'd love that
You have to imagine that you are on the bike. So you have to just get off the bike seat ie. the saddle.
Good information! Even good for experienced riders to wash up on!
I had been riding for 35 years & in that time I owned 4 horses.

Thank you! I'm coming back to riding after 30 years and was nervous about remembering how to mount properly.
Glad it helped!😊🐴
I'm liking your videos. They are very helpful. Thank you for sharing :)
Nice class ,its wothful to us mam
Thank you this was really helpful
This did help me because I am a beginner and I am wanting to ride a horse so this is going to be very helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the tutorial I feel that this is the most important skill specially for beginners like me ❤
Thank you so much for this
Yes this is so helpful. Thanks
Thank you so much for the tips
Omg tysm, whenever i gi to ride a horse since im a non equestrian i rarely ride, i always have troubles mounting on. And with this now im pretty sure ill know how! Tysm!

Thank you for your video. It's help me to study English ❤
Thanks for beautiful sharing 💗
Your video made me notice I was mounting incorrectly for 11 years. Thanks
Thank you very much this helped me mount my horse safley
Very helpful for new to riding.

Your horse is beautiful!

I’m 11 I just got a horse it was helpful now I know how to do it
Thank you, this helped me a lot. I'm starting riding lessons at the end of the month so this is helpful.
thank u so much
this way helped me get on the horse !!!!! thank you!! but there is a problem that I do not know how to climb on a horse without a saddle?
Useful! Tyvm
Thank you!!!!
Thank you
Very nice
If you don’t have a mounting block find a log or fence but if those aren’t available yeah just go what she does!
I’m not a beginner but I’m just washing up
@3:33 you grab the cantle 😂 oopsies
Best tip I've come across is to grab the kneepad or front panel of the off-side. Helps keep the weight centre 🙂
I can't mount from the ground anymore, I need knee replacements and they won't bare the strain. I also ride western and adjusting looong stirrup leathers is way more complicated from the saddle.
Yes it did help thnx
I fell off the horse last week🤣 that's why I'm here
Yesterday I went horse riding and I tried to climb up three times but couldn’t do it.And we didn’t have a stool.
Good
how does a fully armored cavalryman mount a horse in battle?
Me just noticing how the forelock is under the brow band at the beginning
The horse i am riding is very sensitive to bits and the movements of the reins. so if i take the reins backwards like this, she takes off and tosses her head. how do i get her to stand still in another way?
Hi😊
I did a video on teaching your horse to standstill at the mounting block.
you can check it out here

Getting on tall horse without a mounting block
How can you let your horse stop going forward when you just out your left feet in the stirrup?
Hi! I really like your breeches. What brand are they?
Hi😊
They are karrot breeches🤗
I've never been on a horse but just saw a Facebook video and this black guy put his foot in the stirrup the wrong way and the horse raised all the way up backwards and dumped his azz off 🤣🤣🤣 the other guy on the ground told him not to do that in that manner and he found out the hard way and it was hilarious lol
The problem I have in class the saddle just turns to me and It makes it hard for me to Get on
Not a beginner but I’m 5’2 and my horse is 15.3 and I feel like I’ll never be able to mount him without a block or a fence to climb.
Mounting form a block is healthier for the horse back🐴 💕
If your in an English saddle you can try dropping your Stirrup to get on and readjust them once your on.
@@JSHorsemanship for me its hard to but we arent allowed to use mounting blocks at my barn lol so this video rlly helped
How do you get on a horse that is 18.3 hh and to keep him still
Is there a height limit on how to get on the horse?

I got a mount nlock
Sorry this is not related to this video, but how do you act more confident around a spooky and nervous horse?
you can look around for stuff that spooks the horse and remove that also remember horses feel our emotions so if we are nervous so will they be
id say just ride with the horse it takes time and pratice and after a while you'll get confident
