I have posted about this before, sorry!
Every time I try to get on my horse from the mounting block he takes a step to the side so that i can't get on! At the moment I have to have someone the other side of him to stop it.
I'm at a loss to know how to solve it, because every time he steps to the side I have to get off the block and go and move him next to the block again.
Two questions really - first, could this be a sign that he is uncomfortable being ridden by me, or is he just being cheeky? He is fine once I am on, and I am careful not to jolt his back or dig him in the ribs or anything.
Second, how do I solve it?
