I believe you mean MOUNTING a horse. Mounting a horse means to get on, you will end up sitting on the horse's back.

Try mounting outside of the arena, or mounting in a quiet area inside the arena where you are most likely not going to be in someone's way. It would be best if you had a friend to hold your horse. Ask that friend if he/she can give you a step up, or grab a mounting block and mount from there.
You should pretend the other horses don't exist in the arena. Your horse should stay calm and collected. If your horse doesn't then it needs more ground work.
Well ideally you would be riding a horse that you could easily mount from the ground if you needed to. But as the horse is too tall, then you should used a mounting block or a step stool. Also it is better for a horses back to mount from a mounting block as it helps to prevent back pain in the horse.
