👍👍 The more "mature" I get, the more I appreciate a mounting block! 😄

When I was young really didn’t bother me if the horse took off when I mounted we were both ready to go. Years later I’d prefer he laid down for me to mount LOL.

I have taught my horses the pick me up off the fence method which works great for me. I am just over five foot tall and a trail rider. They know when I get up on something they are to move into position and STAND until I ask them to move off. Every so often they will try to take a step before I ask and they get a quick check. It's good to hear that there are still some families/people out there that teach respect for each other.

We had an OTTB who had raced for many years and of course had never been taught to stand still because jockeys are boosted up while theyre walking. What worked for us was simply: "if you want to move, fine move". So, having a halter under the bridle with a lead rope in your hand. As soon as you stand up in the stirrup and he walks off, you get down and have him circle around you 2 or 3 times. Then stand still again, on a loose rein. Repeat as necessary until he decides it's easier to stand still on a loose rein while you get on

I watch your videos all the time & have learned quite a bit . The one you did for trailer loading I started my horse in the wash rack the way you showed at the trailer . It took a few times for him to get it ,but once he got it , I took him to the trailer . He jumped in almost immediately . I use to have to have someone get behind him & rattle a plastic bag before would even think about getting in . Forget a lead rope on the but or even a stock whip , but with your technique he jumps right in . Which isn't the easiest . Single door, lifted gooseneck 3 horse slant trailer

Now for the new (old) problem I'm having . My horse refuses to stand still for me to get on . Even with someone holding him it's almost impossible. Not from the ground , mounting block , trailer fender .NOTHING seems to work . I've worked him until we were both wore out . Him so tired he could barely load & me so tired , I could barely put the saddle up. It's really getting frustrating & I have let him get away with it for too long . One of us or both are going to end up getting hurt . HELP Pat !! Please . Understand it's not an issue of him walking off . He will just NOT stand still for me to get on . I once said the day I quit riding is the day I can't get on my horse. I refuse to give up . I just turned 70 , but that's not the issue . It's my horse . or is it me ??

Hi Pat & Deb, Thanks for this video. I am restarting a broodmare that was just started as a youngster, then raised foals. I have your Missing Link snaffle, which the mare works well with. She starts to move as I mount, I used your method of pulling her around to the right which worked. It took three times for her to understand, she then stood until I asked her to move off. I use a mounting block, when I get the mare parallel to the block, she swings her rear out from the block. What is your way to have her stand in place? Pat, I enjoyed talking with you when you were driving thru Southern Arizona. Thanks for all your great videos, what a great service to all horsemen and women. Don Rees, Marana, AZ

With a lot of horses, "walking off" when you're trying to mount means they're already anticipating walking off. In other words, their brain is already half way through the ride before you swing a leg up. One helpful thing I've learned is to just sit there and correct them as needed to stand until they've settled underneath you before you ride off. Yes, I am a horse expert! ha ha. Never stop learnin'!

@jayawells1793 Жыл бұрын

You have alot of information that has caught me, we just got a horse, she 16 year old and is a quarter horse. I've own other one but it been some time. I truly like the way . My wife is not a horse person yet, but she wants to learn. Again thanks. But I have a question, since we don't know much about her, would a staple bit or a western bit be better to start her one. The gentleman that rode her the day , had a staple bit. Just curious on your piont of view.

I don't know what I do wrong, but when I try to mount I pull the dang saddle towards me . I put one hand on the horn and one on the cantle? Guess I don't really know how tight I need to put the saddle on. But I am getting a mounting block. So this was good cause I'm handicapped (bad right leg).

Start by teaching the horse not to walk off while you get on. And buy leather soled boots that do not have a double row of stitching on the welt so your boot will easily slide out of the stirrup.

I wanna see how pat deals with a horse that bucks when you get on. he's ran though a fence with her. Hes a 10 year old and he has been broke but hasnt been ridden in a year. We do ground work with the saddle on everyday but soon as you swing all the way in the saddle he loses his mind.

@PatnDebPuckett 3 жыл бұрын

You need to restart him. Rope him, flag him, drive him over a tarp, sack him out. He shouldn’t fall apart like that just because he’s had some time off. We have a number of videos that show how we rope horses and we have DVD’s on our website that shows groundwork and working a horse with a flag and tarp. Good luck!
