Usually the last thing to do before mounting a horse is to check the girth, in other words, always re-tighten it before mounting. The reason to do this is because horses bloat (puff out their stomachs) right after you fix the girth. So if you don't re-tighting the girth, it becomes much looser and when you try to mount, the saddle will start to slide down the side of the horse.

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

How many times a week do you have to clean a horse?
There is no particular number of times you should clean your horse. It still should be done regularly. You should make sure to check for cuts or other injuries.
Which side do you tighten your girth from?
You tighten it from the near side (the left side). Everything at horse riding is done at the near side, mounting up, putting on the saddle, putting on the bridle and leading your horse. The only thing that isn't at the near side is your horse's mane. That goes to the off side (the right side). Hope this helped! :)
