Sir you ALWAYS have something to teach. I stop by every time I see one of your postings. Looking forward!

What works for me, everything you said. I also grab the saddle horn, push, pull. The horse places the feet wide, enabling a solid base for mounting. Good video Amigo.

I forgot to add that some of us are vertically challenged and it not as easy trying to climb into a saddle of a horse that tries to walk off with you before you are mounted.

Awesome advise. Been having both problems with one of the saddle fit also possible to thick of a saddle blanket. And or the saddle. And walking while trying to mount. Backing up rearing her head. As if she is in pain. Checked her back. For pain. She never acted this way before. Complete trained roping Mare.

This is very helpful my horse likes to walk away when I mount so thank you so much for the tip

[moniquegartland]

You are awesome, you know what you are talking about

[brianak]

God Damb, your pretty smart, hell I just get on and hope I don't kill myself ! !

Another good way to teach a horse not to walk off is to do lateral flexing and backing up. They both help to get your horse soft on the bit

As a riens man/vaquero do you have any content on rope selection and basic loops and how to throw them? Just looking for basic beginner stuff. Thanks

[jerrywald]

Good stuff. You can also grab the horn and push and pull it until he adjusts and says "hey you can't move me" also I would put the lead rope on my left hip though the belt so it doesn't end up in the way when you get on. Cheers Jer

I have a horse that every time I go to get on he turns his back hips away and continues in a circle around me. how do I keep him to stay there? ive been told to use a hobble on his back legs until I can get on and off without him moving, but I don't like that technique. what do u suggest?

My horse will stand still and all but when it’s comes to stopping she will not stop. I’ve been working with her but man she is persistent

[scruffythehowler]

Can we see this with a horse that is not standing still while trying to mount??

[Lascajet]

Is there a reason you have your get down on your right side? When you mount it is across your body and you must adjust it over your buckin rolls.

[cupidscowgirl]

One of my horses not only tries to move away from she also threatens to bite. I have to use a mounting block to get on her. I have raised this mare and not once has she bitten me or anyone. Could it be the saddle hurting her that makes her act like that?

I have to work on this my horse. if you let one thing go he gets real pushy . Even to the point of humping up .

[manuelcortez]

What if he pulls back hard mine just started doing that and it’s dangerous

[boxerlover]

My horse is just leave broke and when I am walking him he tries to run up in front of me I've tried stopping him and we going pulling his head back putting pressure on his head I cannot figure out what will make us horse stop

[jessehawkes]

Now, does this work with dude horses? I’m riding them for my job and they don’t like to be away from the heard
