My stepdaughter was still mounting that way when she was seven months 
pregnant!  I'm a bit too firmly rooted to terra firma,  so I never 
could learn to vault onto the saddle (if I played basketball I'd be 
hopeless at a dunk shot too <g>) but there are lots of limber, bouncy 
people  who learn to get on their horses bareback by just swinging up.
