Re: [RC] [RC] mounting for the vertically challenged - Terry Banister

"Bowing" to receive the rider is what our short friend has taught her tall horse to do. When the horse is down on one knee, she puts her foot in the stirrup, and as soon as the horse feels the weight, he begins to rise. In one flowing motion, the horse completes the rise while she settles into the saddle. Works great ~ until the horse gets "race brain" during competition and won't hold position long enough to get her foot in place. However, she is very good at riding side-saddle, or dangling on the side of the saddle at those times~

I mentioned the 'neck launching' earlier as I saw a couple Parelli students do it at the St. Paul tour stop back in June.

Might be fun, be certainly doesn't look as elegant and 'medieval' as bowing to receive one's rider. If you've seen 'Kingdom of Heaven', the King's horse does that in one scene.

I was able to get the article to come up this time...thanks Beth for sending the link. Very good article...excellent diagrams. Ok, Bear isn't going to be learning to park out. :) I'll find something else to teach him...maybe something silly like bow. He can earn his granola bars that way. LOL
