Ryan I think my horse was trained this way and by previous owner and now I cannot get on him. He explodes sideways when he get near the mounting block. He's an Andalusian I know he was trained to pick up at the mounting block but it's gone horribly wrong. I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
Fantastic. I’m trying this next. My mare is getting there but has some confusion about if I tap her left hip she wants to side step to her right. So this will alleviate that confusion so that she steps away from the pressure.
This was the first time the release of pressure was taught in a very clear way to me. I loved how you said that the greater the pressure, the greater the release. Now the mounting block is associated with a release of pressure. Thus, the licking and chewing. I am so grateful to grasp this concept!
I taught my mare this. She is about 20 and caught on within a half hour. No longer need the dressage whip. All i have to do is raise my hand above her withers and she comes over completely. Its pretty impressive.
I watched the video and some parts of it twice. I went right away and taught it to my horse. Thank you Ryan for breaking it down in such easy to understand steps.
I am currently training a young horse to do this. LOTS of patience necessary but rewarding. As her owner tends to put her in a corner so she can not back up while getting on I prefer her to stand still where ever I want to get on. Started training with a mounting block yesterday. Thanks for this video.
I'm really enjoying Ryan's videos. He has a lot going on in his own mind and in his approach to training, but he doesn't put too much on the horse at one time. That little hint about not getting the horse used to walking forward from the mounting block by backing up a step and then turning 90 degrees is a perfect example. He's not training anything, not asking anything of the horse, just being very aware of how every small move with your horse has the potential to start a behavior you don't want or keep a pattern from developing.
Great video, going to share it with friends. I did sth very similar with my mum's young mare. I used lunging at a trot and then a break and cuddle at the mounting block. Later we moved the mounting block every time-it worked like a charm.
Nice! This makes so much sense. Re-starting an 18 yr old Arabian gelding that has only been ridden for a short time years ago. He is extremely smart and has tons of try. I also need this for my 15'3" Arabian gelding that I am getting back on after a time off. I will try this tomorrow. I have a rock instead of a mounting block or pipe corral fencing. Thank you!
I super enjoy your way of teaching. My horse is so willing to follow thru with what ever I'm asking. I've learned to be lighter with my hands.Thanks for all you do.
I really like this . I did the ken McNab way which works but it's confusing for my young 3 year old.( over and pick me up. ) I'm thinking of starting over and doing it this way
T hankyou for all your vidoes. I believe that being able to have your horse to stand well and know the cues to pick you up at a certain place can save a lot of time and is the safer way to go..This is especally true f or the young and older riders. The mare that was used for this lesson sure is pretty and willing to please.
I saw your musical horses video and immediately was interested in how to teach my horse to pick me up! This video answered all my questions!! Can’t wait to start practicing with my little guy!
The true horseman furthers the wellbeing of horses. You are a great example as can be seen in all your videos. Quoting sources like you did with the book makes you even more honest and credible. Thanks
Thank you for this helpful video. My horse was backing away from the mounting block. I am 76yr. And right now recovering from cancer surgery and I need the steps to get aboard my horse. Thanks again!
I live in Costa Rica in a mountainous area. Could you help with info on how to teach the side pass toward me without a fence or a wall? We don’t have an arena (no flat ground other than our road, and there are ditches on either side of those in front of barbed wire fences). Our house is built on columns so I can’t even use a wall. Sigh. Your videos have been amazingly helpful as we start two young horses. We have solved the food aggression issue before things got ugly! Thanks!
Good tips. My horse is just a tad too tall for me to mount from the ground with bad ankles.. I can no longer reach the stirrups on a western saddle to get on. If I lower them, I can’t get high enough up to swing my leg over. I am an older lady now and it has become a problem getting on my horse on trail rides when I have to dismount. There are no trees or stumps, logs etc to step up on to mount. I bought an extension called Ez Mount but it doesn’t work for me. My ankle gives out as I try to mount.
Will you do a video on how to train a horse to stop moving when at the mounting block? As in when you put your foot in the stirrup the horse will start to walk off before you swing your leg over.
Thank you!! My horse has backed up when I step on the block for the year I've had him. He's 15 and has probably had this habit for a very long time. Should I do anything different for that issue or just follow your video the same way? (I've ruled out pain, saddle fit, and worked for months on relaxation at the block to try to calm his anxiety.)
that's great if you have a horse sensitive enough to move away from the whip....what about a horse that ignores the whip, even increasing the amount of "tapping" you do???
I started practicing this on the right side of my horse, and she moves really well, but when I transistion to her left side and tap her on her right, she doesnt understand that I want her to move towards me
What if they don’t respond to the pressure when you’re reaching over and tapping their other side to move their bum? What if they just stand there or walk forward?
My horse has been so desensitized to any form or whip or tap - he licks and chews with lowered head and is not bothered by it. Makes this difficult - he just ignores it! Suggestions?
I want to do this but my horse has been desensitized too. Ugh to the whip/flag/bag and ignores me. Even persistence doesn’t work. Stubborn Appaloosa. Any suggestions?
I worked with my mare on this last week and she picked it up pretty quick! She does great until I put my foot in the stirrup so we will keep working on it! Ryan you are such an inspiration and I love your content!! Thank you for showing us simple and effective horsemanship!!!@@ryanrosehorsemanship
What is your point? That mounting blocks are newfangled and unnecessary? I'm in my 70's and they certainly existed in my youth. The thing about mounting blocks is that some people see them as an indication that you aren't a real horseman or at least not a good horseman. Maybe that's you. But because of the relative heights of the rider and the horse, and possibly also health and fitness issues, and/or that there's no one around to give you a leg up, you're doing the horse a huge favor not trying to hoist yourself up from the ground and pulling on the saddle. Jockeys and polo players get a leg up, as do dressage riders who ride very tall sport horses. Cowboys in heeled boots riding short quarter horses is an entirely different game.

I'd like to see you do this training with a untrained horse. To see how to respond when the horse doesn't respond.
Fantastic. I’m trying this next. My mare is getting there but has some confusion about if I tap her left hip she wants to side step to her right. So this will alleviate that confusion so that she steps away from the pressure.

Always nice to see the trainer’s sense of humor. That applause? Hilarious.

This is by far the simplest, least complicated, most common sense approach for mounting block pick up! Thank you!
💯👍
I just bought a new, very tall horse. I needed this.
Absolutely love training this. I taught it to my horse a few months ago and loved watching this refresher course! Thanks!

Great 👍 thanks
You tell us greenhorns also common mistakes people tend to make. Cool!
Nice work. Very thoughtful and low stress. Same basic principle "make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard"
Exactly
Thank you. I love your no stress training approach!
That’s very similar to how I taught my horse to pick me up at the mounting block. Thanks for sharing, Ryan.
You’re very talented and this comment is from a very savvy horsewoman! Great job 👍,
Thank you 😀
Great video, going to share it with friends. I did sth very similar with my mum's young mare. I used lunging at a trot and then a break and cuddle at the mounting block. Later we moved the mounting block every time-it worked like a charm.
Thank you for this! I’m excited to put this into practice!!! ❤❤❤
Ryan , you are a great teacher ! It all seems to fall into place for both the horse you are working with and us humans watching .
Nice! This makes so much sense. Re-starting an 18 yr old Arabian gelding that has only been ridden for a short time years ago. He is extremely smart and has tons of try. I also need this for my 15'3" Arabian gelding that I am getting back on after a time off. I will try this tomorrow. I have a rock instead of a mounting block or pipe corral fencing. Thank you!
Great 👍
I super enjoy your way of teaching. My horse is so willing to follow thru with what ever I'm asking. I've learned to be lighter with my hands.Thanks for all you do.
😀👍👌 thanks i appreciate it
Love this it makes so much sense not to put pressure on while asking for the behaviour! Thank you
Excellent!!! I just got my guy to stand still at the block. Now I’ll have to work on him stepping over to the block for me.
Thanks! Didn't know that! Pressure away from the obsticle and the obsticle becomes the relief!
You bet 👍👌
Thank you
You bet. 👍👌
Awesome teaching on pressure, release, and relief. This helped me understand these terms better.
Great 👍
Really great !!! Hello from Germany
Hi! Thanks
I really like this . I did the ken McNab way which works but it's confusing for my young 3 year old.( over and pick me up. ) I'm thinking of starting over and doing it this way
What an intelligent mare! So impressive how she really respects and listens to you.
All your videos have been soo relevant to the horse I ride. Thankyou!
T hankyou for all your vidoes.

Another great tip, my guy is great at mounting, the pressure you talked about will pay dividends for the trailer... thanks
👌 great
Спасибо большое за Ваши видео уроки. Они очень простые и понятные. Я смотрю с субтитрами, и всё ясно и понятно.
Al-right, Ryan. My new QH needs this training and tomorrow’s the day. This vid helped.
I appreciate you...thank you for your help and way of teaching
For the 10th time I just watched this masterpiece. Thrilling!
😀 thanks
so many kaaching! moments from your step by step, and super clear explanations.
Thank you so much for this! I have been wanting to reach this to my 4yr old. You broke it down in an easy to teach way.

I try 😀 thanks mate
I saw your musical horses video and immediately was interested in how to teach my horse to pick me up! This video answered all my questions!! Can’t wait to start practicing with my little guy!
Looking so forward to trying this as soon as I get a saddle. Have my horse now, just got on his back once so far, he’s really quiet and calm!

Ill see what I can do
@@ryanrosehorsemanship Ok, thank you so much! It is very much appreciated :)

Should I do anything different for that issue or just follow your video the same way? (I've ruled out pain, saddle fit, and worked for months on relaxation at the block to try to calm his anxiety.)
I would try this technique first. I prefer to be proactive when setting it up.

I started practicing this on the right side of my horse, and she moves really well, but when I transistion to her left side and tap her on her right, she doesnt understand that I want her to move towards me
And you said not to tap them while on the mounting block, but how do we make them understand to side pass over to us on the mounting block?
What if the horse doesn’t side pass when tapping them?
I have been working with my horse doing this for weeks… and he still won’t do the side pass
What if I can’t reach over the horse to tap on their rear? I’m 5’ and my horses range from 15.2-17hh!
What if they don’t respond to the pressure when you’re reaching over and tapping their other side to move their bum? What if they just stand there or walk forward?
How do i learn my horse to stand still when i climb on from the ground because she moves when i climb on
Hi Ryan - is there harm with asking the horse to come into the pressure on the same side you want them to step into?
My horse is blind in her left eye. I can get her to come towards her blind side but not towards her good eye. Any tips or ideas?
My horse has been so desensitized to any form or whip or tap - he licks and chews with lowered head and is not bothered by it. Makes this difficult - he just ignores it!
Suggestions?
I want to do this but my horse has been desensitized too. Ugh to the whip/flag/bag and ignores me. Even persistence doesn’t work. Stubborn Appaloosa. Any suggestions?
would it be better to teach standing still at the mounting block first or picking you up there first?
Standing 👍

When l started riding the mounting block did not exist, and it did not cause problems to anyone

Polite question: just wonder why you wear spurs with such massive rowels? Very disturbing 😳
