Mounting Blocks: Back-Friendly for Horse and Rider
A mounting block is part of the basic equipment of every riding arena. It not only makes mounting easier for the rider but is above all an essential measure for keeping the horse healthy. Mounting from the ground creates a strong, one-sided pull on the horse's spine and withers. A mounting block minimizes this strain enormously.
The Advantages of a Mounting Block at a Glance
The regular use of a mounting block brings several functional advantages:
- Horse Health: One-sided pressure on the back muscles is prevented. This is absolutely indispensable, especially for young, older, or back-sensitive horses.
- Protection of Equipment: By using a mounting aid, the saddle tree does not warp. Furthermore, it prevents the left stirrup leather from stretching unevenly over time.
- Safety & Stability: High-quality models have non-slip treads and a wide base that prevents them from tipping over, even on sandy riding arena footing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which material is best for mounting blocks?
Sturdy plastic (polyethylene) is the material of choice. It is extremely break-resistant, weather-proof, and can easily be left outside all year round. In addition, plastic blocks are light enough to be carried quickly into the center of the arena.
How many steps should a mounting block have?
For most large horses and warmbloods, a block with 2 to 3 steps (approx. 40 to 60 cm high) is ideal for gliding effortlessly and in a back-friendly manner into the saddle.
The Indispensable Aid for Every Riding Arena
Anyone who wants to keep their horse healthy for a long time mounts with a mounting block. The step prevents harmful leverage on the spine and protects the saddle from warping to one side. This way, you start every riding session relaxed and horse-friendly.
