1. Make sure the cinch is tightened enough so the saddle won't slide down when you try to mount
2. Stand to the left of the horse with your back to the horse's head
3. Place your left foot in the stirrup (make the stirrup longer if you can't easily reach it with your left foot)
4. Place your left hand at the front of the saddle, and your right at the back of the saddle
5. Push off from the ground with your right foot, and pull yourself up to the saddle

You don't: the saddle will slide off.

Under saddle is a term that is used for hunter rail classes. Hunter under saddle is a flat class (meaning no jumping is involved). The main focus of the judging is the movement of the horse and their mannerisms in the show pen.A Hunter under saddle horse should demonstate smooth ground covering strides that are ideally suited to "the Hunt". This means the horse would be a pleasant mount to use in Fox Hunting, as they are easy to ride, and can easily take a jump if necessary.The rider will be asked to perform at the Walk, Trot, and Canter both directions of the ring. Riders will also be asked to Back the horse. Optional gaits that may also be called for are the extension of the Trot and Hand Gallop.
NO!!!!! You tighten the girth, not loosen it! The saddle could slip off the horse and horse and rider could both get seriously or even fatally injured!!!!No, If you do this the saddle can slip and the ridder will fall off when trying to mount the horse.No, but if the horse gets spooked very easily then you can make the decision if you want to. But, I have never heard of any on who does. You may want to tighten it before trotting or anything faster.no the saddle will slip under the horse and this can cause the hrse to startle you have to make sure its tight and then once you have ridden you may loosen the girth!

You shouldn't hold the back of a saddle (called the cantle) when you mount, because sometimes, if the girth (English)/cinch (Western) isn't tight enough and the saddle can slip. Always make sure the saddle's girth/cinch is snug and safe enough to mount.
