In all the years I’ve ridden, and been around horses, this is a new one…
If only I’d known it was that simple… 🙂

LOL! I don’t think I’ll try that. I have enough problems getting on the normal way.
Okay, that’s a new one to me, too. Prob’ly never work again, either.
Do not try this at home. This only works if you are a little person and have a little caballo…
A trick rider in the making!
C- No me neither… 🙂
Rev- LOL
Dammit- GOOD point!
PH- Yep, she is!
Never underestimate a fearless and determined youngster.
My granddad used to jump on from behind on occasion, but that’s certainly a new one.
I have never witnessed a horse being mounted that way
WSF- Good point!
Jenn- I tried that ONCE… Didn’t end well for me… sigh
Rick- Neither had I!
I’ve had a horse throw me off his neck before…
We were cantering up to a jump when he hit the brakes. I landed on his neck; he tossed his head back and I went flying. It drove home to me how strong they are.
JMI- That they are! And they WILL do what ‘they’ want… 🙂
Children are the true masters of ingenuity…and animals are much more apt to put up with them than they are with adults. 😀
Snigs- True dat!!! 🙂
Just showed this to my wife who grew up on a farm in Scotland. She tells me that this is the technique she and all her friends and family used to mount their ponies. Maybe a European thing?
OC1911- Interesting… I’d NEVER seen it, but apparently I’ve missed out on a lot… 🙂
