The horse I ride does this, it can be annoying, especially is they are too tall for you to just not use a mounting block. I have found that my horse usually stands for about 2-3 seconds before walking off so I have just trained myself to put my foot in the stirrup really quick and pull myself up while they are walking 😅
Hi, a little tip for you! If your horse does this then instead of coming of the mounting block, pull on the reins and stop the horse. It shows them that they can’t do this as it is bad behaviour. Cute horse btw!
Bro fr, the horse I ride always moves as soon as I step on the block and then while still holding the reins I have to just off before he walks too far (he walks fast) and then I move the block over again and repeat the same loop a couple times 😂
i ride western and my coach doesn’t let us use mounting blocks, the lesson horse i use often does this once he sees me trying to get on😭i always pretend im still tightening his front cinch (you have to once u enter the arena before u ride) then hop on rlly fast so he can’t move, works like a charm!😛
My trainer would make sure we knew to just stick our foot in the stirrup and hop on😂 if you keep getting off the mounting block and circling sound they just get fed up and trained to do it lol. She’s just be like “Jump on! Jump!”😂
The horse I ride used to do this to me, if you notice a pattern, wait till you’re on the block to collect the reins so you can reach and hold them at a halt and when you get on stand there until you ask to walk, if they walk on their own halt until you are ready cause this will get sooooo annoying
This is too relatable when I try and mount in lessons but I ride western style as soon as I put my foot in the stirrup and my other foot is off the ground the horse will like start walking while I’m still trying to mount 😭😭
