Hey, I know this is prob a long shot but thought it was worth a go.
Is there anything I can do apart from getting someone to hold the stirrup on the other side of the saddle while I'm mounting? When theres only two of us on the yard my friend has to hold my stirrup and her horse is left wandering so if theres any tips anyone can give me I'd much apreciate them.
If I don't get someone to hold the stirrup the saddle slips quite a fair bit! There isn't a mounting block on the yard(which I'd most definitly use if there was of course) but I'm going to see if the small step thing is going to be any help when I go later.
The pony is only 14hh I'm 5''to 5'2' if thats any help!
A bit of a funny question but thought it was worth asking!
thanks
