Re: [RC] (Dis)mounting from the Right - Kristene Smuts

Mounting from the left is a relic from a by-gone era with no modern

reason for doing it other than custom.>>

I'd like to add one more reason to the list.  If you've injured your
left ankle or leg for some reason and can't get it into the stirrup,
then mounting from the right is a very good option!  Had this happened
to me twice where I tore the ligaments in my ankle and had to mount on
the right.  Fortunately I mount from both sides regularly so I didn't
have a problem with an unmanageable horse.

You never know when you may need it!
