This worksheet is part of our Rider Medals program. This worksheet covers Level 2: Beginner I mounting the horse skills. It covers the following:

1. Putting the steps in order to mount your horse using a mounting block
2. Coloring the left/right side of the rider on a diagram of mounting a horse
3. Thinking about what can happen if your girth is too loose, why we adjust the stirrups before getting on, why it’s better to use a mounting block to get on, why we want the horse to stand still while we’re mounting, why we hold the front and back of the saddle, and how to tell if your stirrups are the correct length.

This worksheet has an accompanying lesson plan and quiz to test your rider’s knowledge. It pairs well with our horsemanship I journal page and  beginner lesson journal page.
