  • Question: There's this horse I ride in an Equestrian Center. Every time I try and mount him he edge away from me swishing his tail so I ALWAYS have to get help. Have any tips on how to stop this?

  • @VictorianReflection It sounds like he's had people hurt him when they mount. Since he's a school horse, this will be hard to correct without getting every single person who gets on him to be more careful!!! Always come down softly in the saddle, and be very careful not to yank on the saddle, which will put pressure on his withers. The behavior you see is him saying that sometimes it hurts when people get on!

  • @EnglandsDarliinQ They are made by heritage performance, and several online vendors sell them ;) If you google search "leopard print riding gloves" you can find them :D Good luck!

  • @aokamins11 Where did you get those gloves? they´re so cool :)

  • @chedog08 You hurt your horse's withers if you twist the saddle getting on, which can happen mounting from the ground or from a block. The trick is to not pull on the saddle ;) But, you are right in that it is much easier to twist the saddle when mounting from the ground and not from a mounting block. It's just that some of us don't have blocks ;)
