The easiest horse to ride bareback is a horse with low, round withers and a flat spine that doesn't jut up like a rooftop peak. If you don't have a tall mounting block, get a little springy in your knees and ankles like you would for a leg up, and as gently as possible, swing up, aiming for the center seam of your pants to line up with your horse's spine. CANTERING As long as your horse has a quiet canter and a prompt canter depart, cantering is almost easier than trotting. [Extracted from the article] |
