As another commenter noted, practicing mounting on the right is super important too. You guys are going to have a GREAT 2013! Happy New Year to you and Lucy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04215573219695094014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-3417868005224494662012-12-16T15:37:00.092-05:002012-12-16T15:37:00.092-05:00She's really doing well!

As I was watching the video I was thinking that next you should try "falling off" on the wrong side (although I was having qualms just THINKING about doing that on her haha) and then you did it!

Chris used to have me mount and dismount on both sides with the young horses and it did them a lot of good :) I'm glad to see it's working!Madeline C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14246076712179468308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-82822175878068219582012-12-13T21:24:58.701-05:002012-12-13T21:24:58.701-05:00awesome!!

I practice mounting and dismounting from both sides with all my horses. Erin had a knee brace for a while and could only mount from the right. I imagine there are other people out there with similar needs and I like my horses to be indifferent about which side their humans are on. Good to see you installing the same with Lulu.

I use the treats wtih William all the time, for him - it really works. I also mount on both sides...mostly because Archie is a dink and won't stand where I want him to so I just get on whichever side is close. Same with dismounting.Boss Mare Eventinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039910692009593158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-16207883241166972062012-12-13T09:52:38.948-05:002012-12-13T09:52:38.948-05:00I think it's so awesome that you are working w...I think it's so awesome that you are working with her on this! It's a great tool and hopefully you'll never have to worry about using it again! I am really good at emergency dismounting, what the horse beneath me does is a whole other story!Niamhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445287419135378606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-56864527884790462882012-12-13T08:40:44.318-05:002012-12-13T08:40:44.318-05:00My horse is pretty back sore, so my chiro actually...My horse is pretty back sore, so my chiro actually recommended alternating the side that I mount and dismount from. Archie doesn't care at all, but even after months of doing it, I still have to scramble up the right side and can't help but fling myself off when I dismount. It's good practice, though!Beka Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510058677533021975noreply@blogger.com
