We never move the mounting block in our arena. I always teach my horses to self-park so I can get on. No chasing, no holding, no force.

I want my horses to present me with the saddle as if asking me: “Here you are, you can get on and ride!”

Because your horse understand what he’s doing and what’s going to happen next, you start your ride from a position of rest.

And it’s a cool trick to show off to your friends. 😉
