Face the saddle and bend your left knee. Your helper supports your knee and ankle.

As you spring, your helpr lifts your leg up to help you into the saddle.

Position your horse so he is standing with his shoulder next to the mounting block.

◎    Dismounting

As with mounting, you usually dismount on the near side, though you can dismount on the off side if it’s an emergency.

To dismount on the near side, take both feet out of the stirrups. Keep hold of the reins in your left hand to stop your horse from moving forward. Lean on the pommel and swing your right leg carefully over your horse’s back.Support your weight with your arms briefly, then jump down, landing on both feet.
