Thanks for adding to this to the "how to properly mount" discussion!
>>>To add to (not to correct!) Genie's discussion on mounting, I learned in
a clinic from a great hoseperson (whose name I can't remember - he was a
former Olympian I think) that the most important thing after the couple
of bounces on the right leg, is to get your weight centered over the
horse as quickly as possible, so as not to cause the horse to strain
under your pulling to the side, then gently swing the right leg around
and settle onto her/his back softly. This starts your ride out on a
good note with the horse!>>>
