I suggested mounting Kolur from the right when he was being fidgety when we tried to mount him from the left, because most horses are mounted from the left and if he had any "issues" from previous training or from getting away with moving off (he gets excited) they might not transfer to mounting on the right. He did better, but he needs more practice when we're out riding in groups where he has a higher level of excitment. Cherie
