To hit a horse with the leg is called?
I think this question is refering to what is know as a "leg aid". It's not so much a kick as leg pressure to direct the horse to what the rider wants him to do. Well trained horses should always understand leg pressure which can be heels, calves, thighs or butt (seat in horse talk).
What sidedo you get on a horse and off?
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.

Are horse spurs right?
The sole purpose of spurs is to act as a leg aid. For riders that have weak legs or horses that tend to be 'dead sided', spurs are a great way to communicate to your horse. Spurs in the wrong hands, however, can do great damage to the horse. Sharp edged spurs should never be used. Small, smooth spurs are all that is needed as an extension of the riders legs and heels.
