5 tricks to get your horse to stand at the mounting block

Are you frustrated with “Smokey” dancing away from the mounting block? Is “princess” afraid to get close to the mounting block?

Here are small few things to consider in the process of the mount up.

1) Horses are herd animals and take their mood from the leader. That’s you. 2) Take your time and explain what you want

3) Understand their point of view

4) Be consistent, if you have a type of system you want in place for the mounting block (ie: standing very close or very still) don’t give up, don’t increase, just be consistent. Every. single. Time. Same routine.

5) Get on their back with athleticism and consideration.

Build together.
