Pretty much the wrong way to get on for the first time or any other time for that matter. Stand at the left shoulder by the near front leg facing the rear of the horse and swing on . The way he shows it if the horse blows up and jumps ahead your left way back and out of position where you can get kicked. I'd get rid of the spurs too. Unless he's gonna rope something right away what is the rope doing on the saddle? It'd be pretty easy to get hung up in that if things start to get interesting.
Hmm the horse is good, I do NOT agree with spurs your first ride, it's not only more stressful but it'll make your horse dull to touch...Also I don't agree with turning her head while getting on, you're putting her off balance with your weight pulling on her but to each his own i guess :)
@195040Kylie I agree with the spurs-way to much for a young horse and spurs are meant as an extension which means your dulling it and she has no clue what they mean.But the head turning there's a reason behind it-By turning her head you're lessening your chance of getting kicked, her butt can't go the the same way her head is, and it doesn't off balance that much, just enough so she can't hurt you as quick-just thought I'd tell you, all to their own though :)

Good video but I don't agree on using spurs when starting a horse.

This way very helpful! I'm planning on riding my fjord soon, he is 16 and this ride will be a refresher since he hasn't been ridden in a while.
Very good video!
