I don’t recommend mounting from the ground it can cause problems with the horses back in the future 😅 Also you should always mount from the left. 😊
For anyone who’d like to know the “why” of being told we always need to mount and dismount from the left side, the answer is because back when horses were used for war, the rider would have a sword and scabbard they they wore on their left side and in order to be able to mount without it getting in the way the HAD to mount from the left. That’s it! So unless you ride with a sword and scabbard, you can and actually should mount and dismount from both sides. 😉
The famous "heels down" from the movie of spirit untamed
The thing that you mounted on the wrong side, 🤦♀️
Definitely do not go behind the horse
Why you Stella my gurups name and I now you big but how dare you Stella my gurups name
You can go around the back of a horse as long as you let the horse know you’re going too. (Trail your fingers across its body from the front to the back to let it know you are there because if you don’t your presence behind it spooks it)
The one with the stirrups, were wrong cuz when it said yep, she had her foot too much on the stirrup, he had to have the ball of her foot. So not all of it was right 😂👇👇👇who agrees
RIGHT u got on from the wrong side
For Western riders only, English is a bit different:)
I’m still a beginner and I’m not sure how to put my heels down any tips?
lol no what is this
let me break this down:
never grab the back of the saddle mounting, actually never grab the saddle period, if anything grab the horses mane
your seat was good with your pockets, but your legs are too far forward. there should be a line going from head, torso , hips , and leg
your heels are right to be down, but most western riders ride with spurs and having your feet angled out is not right for the horse, keep heels down but toes parallel
that’s all!
The front is a strike zone aswell
I’m watching this to prepare for horseback riding today 🎉
then there’s me, who puts my head on the horses butt and just chillaxes there. I’ve only almost been kicked a few times 😅
I understand grabbing reins.. I would discourage teaching children and new riders that. They don't have the coordination yet. They could give the horse an incorrect cue and the horse take off before they're ready.
I always thought you had a pet the horse and then used the brush to clean it then ride the horse 🐴! “Oh sorry boy” 🥕
I want to do horse back riding but its tooo expensive 😢😢😢😢 i wish i could because all of my friends do it
Your toes are pointing to far out
❤❤❤❤
Only reason I walk right behind my horse is because is is VERY well trained and wouldn’t hurt a fly (you could pull on his tail and he won’t care) but for people who don’t have well trained horses, don’t walk behind them
❤
Bru you can go behind a horse you just have to make sure to let them know your there
How bout tutorials for riding English
Afkors
If you go behind a horse just keep your hand on their butt so that they know your there. Only go behind if you know and trust that horse
How ur horse reacts if u do it wrong and if not😂
It actually doesn’t matter if you go in front or back although the front could be more dangerous bc the horse could be grazing and you might walk over kind of and they could pick their heads up very fast.And the back you can wait off to the side and put your hand above their butt and let them know your coming around them so they do t buck me myself I have a pony and I had horses and however much they never bucked I was still going g behind them and my pony he can’t buck like at all I still put my hand above their butt!!
I don’t ride western-
Don’t go in front of the horse it seems less dangerous buts it actually more dangerous
Me as an English rider being confused af the only two that I knew was the mounting one and the walk round the head side
Yes never go behind a horse. They will sense danger and probably will kick you!
The second one is the opposite 😂
The horn is so big
😊
Its ban to month from the ground if u can use a Mounting block or something
67k lol
Yup on getting in the right side of the horse? Just asking, I was told to only get on left side. Im new and just ckn, I’m not trying to be a jerk. I promise. Ty C
When mounting you should always keep your toe and knee facing the horses shoulder and use only the front part of the saddle to avoid moving the saddle.
The second posture is nice and relaxed but her leg is not where it is supposed to be, her heel should be aligned with her hip and her shoulder (shoulder hip heel alignment)
You can walk behind a horses back if you’re close to the horses hind so they can’t kick you. But, it is best to go around the front.
Nope. Feet should be pointed forward not outwards
With the last one it just depends on the horse my horses know when I'm behind them becuase I just put my hand behind them so they know I'm here and I prefer no to go Infront because you could get run over but really just depends on the horse😊 God bless ❤
FUN FACT SHE'S A COWBOY 🐎🤠➰
your foot should be further back in the stirrup so that its more on the balls of your feet instead of
Practicing targeted exercises while on the horse can significantly improve balance, control, and overall riding performance
“Yep” feet are pointing outwards
Although I would advise going around the front of the horse for safety reasons, you can slide you hand around their butts above the tail and they may be comfortable with it. Depending on your horse and their training it is okay to walk front or back. ☺
One nope is feet are to far forward in the stirrups
Why, oh why, grab the horn when mounting?
