  • This video is about how to mount and dismount your horse the correct and safe way. Most people don't even know there is a good or better way to get on a horse. Usually, the mounting process includes a slipping saddle, possibly tightening the cinch more than needed, maybe spooking your horse, a horse that moves around etc.
    After watching this video you will know a safe, easy way to get on and off your horse that does not require you to over-tighten your cinch (which can make a "cinchy" horse).
    We hope you enjoy this video and hope it helps.

    I had quite a chuckle at the first mount and dismount. Who hasn't done that..lol

  • @sbishoppdx

    Thank you so much for taking the time to show the example and explain so clearly. I struggle and I can’t wait to try this

  • @rhondavocht6129

    The best and most helpful demonstration I’ve seen. I have a tough time getting off horses, and this video is excellent!

    Very good, very well explained. I don't know how many times I've seen people grab and pull on the saddle horn to get on. I always grab a handful of mane and gently pull myself up.

    Thank you so much for emphasizing the push away when dismounting instead of sliding. Sliding is what I do and it's absolutely freaking brutal on me when I am on a tall horse .

    Excellent video. I have looked exactly like the wrong way and have spent a lot of money trying to correct the problem. Thanks for putting this out there. A couple of times in the past, I did it (by accident) more the correct way, and wondered why the saddle stayed put so well. Thought the problem was saddle fit (even though checking reveals perfect fit after $2000 spent on two horses' saddles, cinches and pads), but clearly, after seeing this video, it is the method used to mount up. I like the dismount procedure as well, since leaving the boot in the stirrup can cause the toe to dig into the horse and cause a walking (or even running) off situation where getting dragged on the rocks around here wouldn't not be healthy. Thanks again.

    Great video for proper & safe technique. How do you train your horse to not move off when you try to mount?
