The near side is always the left. This is because its "near" the side you get on. You ALWAYS mount from the left, due to tradition formed in the age of knights and siege warfare. They wore their swords on their right side for easy reach, therefore their right leg could not bend to mount, forcing them to mount from the left.
A:Actually, you should be able to mount a horse from either side. A horse that only allows you to mount from one side is not a very well trained horse. Horses should be trained to do everything from either side.Edit: response: well yes, it is important for the horse to allow both, especially in case of emergency. however mounting from the left is most common and the traditional way
