Helpful info. Lucky me I discovered your site by chance, and I’m shocked why this twist of fate didn’t took place earlier! I bookmarked it.

I have had several mishaps while mounting and dismounting. I always triple check the cinch, but just last week I tore the offside billet while trying to mount. Both the horse and I were jumpy after that. I have also had the saddle slip as I dismounted I have a lower back injury that makes it difficult to mount quickly and have put on a “few” pounds over the years. Any suggestions on how to making mounting and dismounting safer for me and the horse would be helpful. Would a breast collar help in this situation? I use a mounting step when possible, however, there are situations where one is not available.

Oh, the helper stirrup has a stirrup on one end and a loop to go over the saddle horn! Sorry, left that out of my last comment.

A helper stirrup is an option. It is long than your regular stirrup and is terrific for those of us that have short legs and weak thigh muscles…not to mention a little too much weight!!

A mounting block isn’t very practical out on the trail; any suggestions?

I am almost 70 years old and now I have to get my horse close to the panel to get aboard but am always not around the panels. Thanks again for your help. This will be my project this next week-end after getting off work.
Again thanks.
