to mount a horse walk up to the left side where the horse can see you and grab the reigns in your left hand while holding the reigns with some slack move down the side to align your left leg with the stirrup. if it is a western saddle grab the horn with your left hand and the base of the seat with your right place your left boot into the stirrup and hoist yourself up simultaneously swinging your right leg over the rump and saddle until finally placing it into the stirrup.
To ride keep your eyes where you want to go relax your body but keep your back straight and your heals down toward the ground. Hold the rains in both hands with a little slack so that you can feel what the horse is doing with its head. To move forward squeeze your legs together and the horse should begin to walk. On a trained horse you should never kick or use spurs. Horses doing like being beat up any more than you do. to turn left or right use the stirrups in conjunction with your legs. for example to turn slight right put pressure on the right side of the horse using your leg. to turn 90 or 180 degrees to the right use both pressure from your right leg and also pull back on the right reign. to halt say whoa in a voice that the horse responds to. to stop quickly use whoa and gently pull back on both the reigns at the same time.
