  • If you can understand this, let me try to help though

    Try grabbing a big lock of mane, one in each hand, before you swing up. Put your left hand right in front of her (his?) withers, and your right hand right on top of them. Then, back up right next to his head, and run, trying to use your momentum to swing yourself up and over his back, but not over the other side! After a while, you get it, and your be able to mount anything that you can reach it's mane! Good Luck. And Love your horse!

  • This is how I have always got on (after spending lots of time practicing on my VERY patient Haflinger), and I think I have perfected it. But when my friend asked me how I did it, I was just like. "Uh, you grab the mane, then swing up, and Boom! Your one". I don't know, I just do it!

  • use the fence!

  • now THAT is a beautiful horse! :)

  • 4 minutes of my life wasted...

  • The horse is all like. "Silly two leg. You cant get on me like this. But i think you are funny so i will stay"

  • WHAT I think is funny is at 0:45 the cat in the background just casually walks past!!

  • I couldn't help but sit here and laugh hysterically, particularly at the captions! Love this!

  • you actually have to try and get on the horse.. not just kick your leg up

  • lol funny!!

  • U failrd

  • ps. soll mann dir mal in den Haaren ziehen? Mal sehn wie du das finden würdest...bestimmt nicht berauschend!

  • @HoneyBoneyHerne

    sehs genauso!

  • Wenn man es nicht kann soll man es lassen! Tut dem Pferd auch weh. Übe es lieber auf einem Schaukelpferd :)

  • Very Cute and Patient Horse hehehe

  • yup this is about how it goes for me too XD

  • I'm sure thats almost exactly what I look like attempting this.

  • Cute horse :P he is so calm

  • Cute horse :P he is so calm

  • Nice try! I bet you'll get it next time! P.s do u want to borrow my horse he's a Morgan but he stays still no matter what u do to him! (Except point a gun at him!) I'll let u if you would like!

  • omg i wish i could do this....i found this very amusing though! hahah i love 3:16 when you just take a running leap at his back. he's very unphased by you too which is funny :P

  • thats one bloody bored horse lol id love ta learn how ta swing up but i have a 15hh mare and im only 5 foot 6

  • wow u suck

  • haha the random cat in the background ^.^

  • hold the maine higher

  • @0678kirsten You know ... it's hard to ride both a horse and reach for a State at the sametime.

  • its good you can laugh about it. Lol you'll get the hang of it. I haven't yet... lol. at least you horse is shorter. Lol my bot is tall and I can't get it down yet. I tried the "running leap"...basically it looked like i was running right into his side. I have no spring on a jump so I just kinda run into him. he's not too patient either. I almost had it one time and he walked off and I landed on my butt :P

  • 0:46 a cute cat :D

  • it works alot better with a western saddle

  • have you kept practicing?i think you can do it =)

  • I posted a vid to help maybe? I dont know lol

    But your horse is so patient! after like the second try my horse would just end up walking away XD

    And I love your sense of humor and that first fly-kill lol

  • you can deffinately do it! It is so easy, trust me. Your horse is shorter than you (lucky haha) but maybe try using a small stepping block to boost your feeling of "I GOT THIS!" Thats what I did and I got my swing up on my first try lol (I was so proud you dont even know! XD)

    You pretty much have it down, just put your hips on the horse. Say to yourself "This is a peice of cake" and you can do it. Its really easy, but like I said, maybe try a block first?

  • Once you get your leg up and over then use your upper body and arms to push your self up. It took me forever to get it down.

  • lol i can do that on my horse hes a thourabred and lol the cat in the bg lol

  • Ok i Have to Help you, lol grab the mane in the middle of his neck with your left hand and with your right in the place your grabbing now and use your arms and leg, its also a mental thing. if you imagine your going to make it u will find its much easier!! have fun ;)

  • I'm searching youtube trying to figure this out. Nice to see I'm not the only one who looks like that! Great sense of humor. I'll keep trying too!! Keep at it!

  • try practcicing in loose shorts, then once you get it down with shorts, go for it with jeans, it is ALOT easier in shorts!!!

  • i thinks i sos a pussy cat. meaw!

  • don`t worry,it took me a year to get down mounting bareback any way!haha.If i tried to swing up onto Charmer he would bolt.haha,he is 12 and I tried to get a running start yesterday and he bolted!yet I can do it on a 3year old filly who is barely broke!

  • Getting a little mad and determined helps.

    When I laugh I lose it. Fun watching your video!!!

  • I've been attempting this, too, and it is truly difficult! Love your sense of humor and your patient horse!

  • i see i kitty cat

  • lol its much harder then it looks ey?

    how tall is he?

    he kinda looks like my tennessee walker buttercup. shes like 14.3 hands and i still cant jump up on her, its kinda pathetic watchingme try to though lol

    anywayy ifu keep it up ull get it someday lol

  • nice!!:)

  • How cum u r so desperate 2 get on by swinging up,,

    any ways nice try,,

    gawguss haflinger!,,

    see ya

    ...x...

  • Alana, when you told me about this I had no idea it went on so long! What a good girl Rekka is! Very funny. I hope you keep practicing. ;)

  • That was so cute! I love the written commentary! Such a good haffie. You are really really close, you just have to get that leg to hook on so you can pull yourself up the rest of the way. Don't worry about getting all the way over, just try to get a good grip with your hand and leg so you can pull yourself up and over.

  • Hilarious! What our poor Haflingers have to put up with. Had a try the other week and ended up stiff and sore the next day so will wait til after our big show next week to try again (and I'll video it next time too so you can all laugh at me aswell)

  • Rekka is great! Aren't Haflingers the best? and wonderfully gentle? Oh, and I gotta tell you, laughing while trying this really makes it harder! LOL
