Tuesday Trivia - Did you know? Getting on from the ground puts as much pressure on the right side of the saddle as a horse LANDING FROM A 1.4M FENCE! The force going through the horses front limbs on landing a 1.3M jump equals 2.6 times its body weight. In technical terms: THAT’S A LOT OF PRESSURE. Watch This and You’ll Never Mount from the Ground Again. The equine biomechanic experts at Centaur Biomechanics in the UK captured the impact of mounting from the ground on the horse’s saddle and back in this high speed camera footage. The video is only 59 seconds long, but by the 27 second mark, you’ll be screaming, “OMG, SWING YOUR LEG OVER ALREADY.” It’s torture to watch. What’s more, being on the small side doesn’t necessarily help the cause. The shorter you are respective to the horse, the greater the pressure you’ll create by mounting from the ground. Conclusion: we’ll be using the mounting block from here out. source: horsecollaborative
