Yes! Even though it is said that you can only get on a horse from the near side (left side), my old man told me it is best if you train your horse to get on and off from both sides.

He told me, "This is because if you were to fall off your horse and you had a broken your leg or something, and it just happens to be that you can't get on from the near side, you may stay there in pain until somebody finds you if your lucky enough if your horse wont allow you to get on from the other side."

If this occurs, don't get a short tension span with the horse if he/she wont let you on... this may just be your fault for not training them to allow you to get on from both sides.

Yes, you can get on from the near side if you want, but i suggest that you get on from the opposite side every now and then.

When leading a horse what should you do and not do?

Do walk on the horse's left side, hold the lead rope with your right hand near the horse's head, maintaining a safe distance. Don't walk directly in front of or behind the horse, avoid sudden movements or noises that may startle the horse, and never wrap the lead rope around your hand.


When you lead a horse what equipment do you use and how do you use it?

When leading a horse, you typically use a halter and lead rope. The lead rope is attached to the halter, and you hold onto the other end to guide the horse. To lead the horse, stand on its left side, hold the lead rope in your left hand close to the halter, and use your right hand to support and direct the horse as needed. Walk in the direction you want the horse to move, keeping a safe distance and maintaining a firm yet gentle grip on the lead rope.


When leading a horse should you walk directly in front of it?

Answer 1: No you should not walk directly in front of your horse. They can accidentally knock you down or step on you. You should walk at their shoulder. It will allow both of you to see where you are going and what rocks or holes and things like that are in front of you. Answer 2: No, when you are leading a horse you always lead on the left. The reason you should lead on the left instead of directly in front is because the horse needs to learn directions. But when you are in tight areas it is perfectly fine to walk directly in front of it, but make sure you are watching the horse while leading in front. It could rear up or bit by something like a fly and go crazy. Answer 3: (Supervisor answer) Horses have 2 blind spots, one of those is directly in front of it's nose, and the other is right behind it's tail. Therefore if you are directly in front of it, the horse cannot see you to know where to go. That means you should stand near the shoulder of the horse, on the left or right side. Many people only lead from the left side as this is tradition, but it is acceptable and considered good training practice to lead he horse from the right also.


When leading a horse should you walk directly in front of it to show it where to go?

for howrse: falseyou should stand to the side.Obviously false; that's really dangerous. if the horse spooked or was a bit strong, it would knock you down. Always lead them on the horse's left side.If you are showing your horse in-hand, swap sides when turning so the judge can get a clear view. If you are turning left, get onto the left side. If you are turning right, go to the right side. If you are at a show and the judge has asked you to do this, you should be pushing your horse, not pulling on itHorses have two blind spots: directly in front of them and directly behind them. When leading a horse, you should stand to one side so that the horse can see you. If you stand directly in front, you will be hidden, and that will make the horse nervous. Walk beside and hold the lead rope loosely so that you don't tug on the halter.


How do you ask a horse to turn right?

To ask a horse to turn right, apply pressure with your right rein against the horse's neck while using your left leg as a cue to encourage the turn. You can also shift your weight slightly to the right to help communicate your intention to the horse. Practice using these aids consistently to help your horse understand the cue for turning right.

You will need to get a lead. If you don't have one the recipe is slime ball in the middle, string in the bottom right, top middle, top left, and middle left.
