You must always get on and off from the left side. Why? Hundreds of year ago horses were used during wars. And in those wars sword was the main weapon. A man's sword hung down his left leg, making it easier for him to pull it out quickly with his right hand.
Because the sword's position was on the left, it was easier for the rider to throw his right leg across the horse's back. This prevented the sword from interfering with the rider's leg as he mounted on the horse. And so the riders started riding a horse from the left side.
Even though horse riders today donot have swords, the custom has lasted through the years. And when horses are trained, they are trained to accept riders mounting from the left. So, today a rider mounting from the right could startle the horse.
