This demo is done to show the proper distribution of the riders weight when mounting. It is not something for everyone to try. Never ride without your saddle properly secured.
When I attended college and majored in Equestrian Studies one of my 'tests' was the ability to mount up without a girth. The instructor didn't just loosen the girth - she completely removed it. The whole class got a chance to try with the same patient horse. Thankfully the horse was around 15 hands and had a nice set of whithers...but the point was also made.
Mounting isn't about d..r..a..g..g..i..n..g.. your self on. It is about technique. Sometimes tall horses, short riders or physical challenges make great technique difficult or impossible, if that is the case, consider using a mounting block. I am for using mounting blocks, ditches, a leg up and other things to make mounting easier for both horse and rider. I also believe in proper mounting techniques.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME: THE FOLLOWING PERFORMED EITHER BY PROFESSIONALS OR UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROFESSIONALS.
I can't see anything wrong with using a mounting block and there could be many benefits.
Some people argue that a mounting block is easier on the horse because the rider doesn't put uneven pressure on the horse when mounting. The degree of benefit would likely be influenced by the horse and rider team, as the combination will help determine what is ‘easier’ for the horse. The age, size and athletic ability of both the horse and the rider would play a part.
Many cutting and reining horses are short, some never reach 14.2 and would technically be ponies. It is much easier to mount up on a 14.1 hand horse than a 17.2 hand horse. How easy or difficult mounting would be is also determined by how athletic the rider is. Most 16 year olds can spring up into the saddle easier than a 50 year old who has had knee surgery.
Mounting is more strenuous for the horse when the rider struggles to mount. A young, fit horse may tolerate this better than an older, unfit horse but it isn't ideal for either. Many riders never learn how to spring off the ground and transfer their weight into a downward pressure rather than hanging off the horses side, twisting the saddle. Some riders know how to mount properly but become forgetful or lazy. Still others face physical challenges that make mounting smoothly difficult. If you believe that you are putting excessive strain on the horse during mounting, consider teaching the horse to stand near objects for mounting.
Teaching a horse to stand near objects for mounting has no real drawbacks and will increase the horses knowledge base. Many things can be used for mounting including; mounting block, fence rails, stumps or logs. It is important that you are able to remount wherever you are riding so if mounting is difficult also consider carrying one of the many portable mounting devices that are available.
About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
