Preface This is your roadmap to stopping an annoying and dangerous habit. Section I: Days 1 through 5 A step-by-step plan to fixing your mounting block blues Introducing: A Cure for Your Mounting Problems Day One: "Whoever Moves First Loses" Start earning R-E-S-P-E-C-T Day Two: Sidepassing To You On the Ground Move your horse back to the mounting block - and amaze your friends - when you teach your horse to sidepass to you on the ground Day Three: Now Moving Becomes Our Idea Channel your horse's unwanted movements into productive training as "Moving Becomes Our Idea" (Includes mini-lesson: How to lunge your horse) Day Four: Working from the Saddle Work from the saddle to lock in your "standing order" Day Five: The Reins -- Five Ways to Improve Your Use Without realizing it, the way we use the reins often causes many aggravating issues. Here we learn five tips to improve our rein-handling - and take a giant step toward a happier partnership with our horse. And, Finally... When You Do Get On, Do This First Section II: Additional Training More steps you can take to transform your horse into a model citizen Rider Checklists Once you've "fixed" your horse at the mounting block, keep future attitudes and performance in balance by running each of these three checklists through your head with each ride. Think of this as "preventative care." The First Thing I Do The slightest resistance from your horse in the more peaceful moments - like when you're trying to mount up or even just hanging out - will be far worse at higher speeds or at traumatic moments, leading to balking, bolting - or far worse. Cinchy Horses If you can't "mount up" because your horse is half alligator at "tack up time," here's how to deal with the gnashing teeth, thrashing tails and stomping feet. Pick Up Your Reins Like a Pro More work with our reins. This is -- with super-specific detail -- how to pick up, handle, and release your reins. Based on all the riding and training clinics I've conducted, I truly believe that this chapter contains "the fastest way on the planet to radically change the quality of your next ride." (Read: Keep your horse's mouth happy -- and he'll take care of you.)

Your horse dances about and tries to keep you from getting into the saddle because he's either scared -- or because there's been a coup in "your little herd of two." This handbook shows you the steps necessary to put an end to this annoying and dangerous habit regardless of its cause. Section I of "Get On Your Horse: Curing Your Mounting Problems" shows you, step-by-step, how to move your horse to the mounting block, to lunge, to give respect -- and to stand rock solid. Section II presents four additional chapters designed to "round out" or "book end" the previous training. Each offers buckets of additional insight into the specific issue at hand, that is, the horse that's begun "dancing" at the mounting block. (See the Table of Contents for a complete listing.)
