Hi Robyn >>>I've never really liked this. I think it's way too hard on a horse to get up w/ a rider on it's back like that. I don't think I'd ever do it.
I agree, however it looks like this person has some physical issues that makes mounting difficult which is why they are doing it. I wouldn't want to do it but I feel like some horses really take seriously their jobs of taking care of their rider. They are amazing creatures.
