Use a mounting block or have a friend give you a leg up. Just let your leg relax, keep your heels down, and sit up straight, it should be similar to how you would ride in a dressage saddle. Don’t let yourself get tense, just keep relaxed. If your horse has a bouncy trot it’ll be difficult, but if you let your muscles tense up it’s really harder to ride. Just try to feel the movement of the horse and stay with it.

bring the horse up to a fence so you can climb on. hold on to the horses mane and slowly take off dont run until you get used to the filling of ******** riding.

Riding ******** is easy, and I actually prefer it as long as the horse is well trained and gentle. You can lead the horse up beside a rail fence or gate, climb up a few steps on the gate, then hold the horse’s reins and its mane in your left hand, and sort of jump so your belly is on its back. Then rotate your right leg over his back and sit up. Keep a good hold on the reins and the horse’s mane while you get on, just in case he moves, you don’t want to lose your balance.
It’s easy to ride at a walk. The trot can be sort of bouncy until you learn to move with the horse. If it is too bouncy, sort of put your feet forward and sit back on the back pockets of your jeans a little more. It will help you to balance and just “sit” the trot. As you learn more, you’ll be able to post the trot by using your inner thigh muscles to help you rise and sit with the horse’s movement. The lope is easiest of all, just practice a lot at the slower gaits so you know you’re ready to go faster.
My sisters can swing up ******** on a horse like Indians used to do. They just hold the mane and reins in their left hand, on the horse’s withers. Then they take a swing and leap so their right leg goes clear over the horse’s right hip and sort of hooks so they can pull themselves up.
Good luck.
