How do you keep the horse still while getting on her?
well, when you walk into the arena or field or wherever you ride, you stop the horse with the reins, get on a mounting block or make your stirrups really long, hold your reins in your left hand and put that hand on the front of the saddle. your right hand goes on the back of the saddle and then you just swing on to the horse. The key here is to make sure your left hand has the reins tight enough so that your horse doesn't take off. (obviously, if you lengthened your stirrups before getting on, you would tighten it before you ride)

What are the last checks to be done before mounting a horse?
If you mean do you check that the saddle is still tight on the horse, absolutely! Check your girth; ideally, it should be tight enough that you can slide your fingers under it, but you can't lift it up from the horse's side. Also check your girth if you've been riding for a while but plan to do some work that will involve galloping or tight turns. This is an extremely important thing; a loose saddle can slide off a horse and cause you to fall. I've done this and wound up with a moderate concussion and back damage. And always wear a helmet when you ride; it can save your life!Check the girth Check the stirrups And check that the horse ahs gone to the saddle
