Put your weight on the stirrup, not on your arms. If you’re using a western saddle, your hand can rest the pommel for balance, but do not grab it tightly or pull yourself up with it. As your foot hits the stirrup, the horse will sense the shift in weight. Many poorly trained horses will move away from the weight of your body at this point. Traditionally, horses are always mounted and dismounted from the left side, regardless of whether you are right- or left-handed. When your horse is completely still, and with your foot in the stirrup, start to move your right leg over its back. If your horse starts to move while you are doing so, dismount completely and make it stop again. Don’t try to mount anyway as the animal walks out from under you. This is dangerous and encourages bad habits. If the horse allows you to mount, you’re ready to begin riding. If the horse begins to move away, immediately remove your foot and take up the slack in the reins. This will teach the horse that you won’t want it to move once it feels your weight in the stirrup. Trying to mount while the horse is still moving will teach them that they do not have to stand still. If you need to move the horse back to the starting position, apply pressure on the animal’s chest to send it moving backward. You can also keep the horse from moving away by taking up slack from the reins. Alternately, if the horse tries to walk off, keep the reins short so the horse is forced to walk in a small circle. Wait until the horse stops moving, then try putting your foot in the stirrup again.

One-sentence summary -- Place your left foot in the stirrup on the left side of the horse. Step into the stirrup and swing your right leg over the horse’s back. Stop mounting immediately if your horse moves away. Push the horse back if it walks away from you as you mount.

Q: Some rose breeds are much more resistant to black spot than others. Particularly resistant breeds are Fortyniner, Coronado, Carefree Beauty, Simplicity, Bonica, and Grand Opera. Ask at your local nursery or garden center if any of these breeds are available.  Remember that just because a breed is resistant to black spot doesn’t mean that breed will grow well in your area. Find a breed that’s suited to your local climate. Most yellow and copper-colored roses are particularly susceptible to black spot. Avoid these breeds to prevent outbreaks. Fungus grows best in cool, damp environments. Discourage fungal growth by planting the roses in the sunniest parts of your property. This burns off excess moisture on the roses and foliage around them. Consider planting your roses in pots so you can move them around to sunnier spots if you have to. If the roses are too close together, air won't circulate well and moisture will build up. The exact spacing depends on the type of rose you plant, but generally allow 24–36 in (61–91 cm) between each bush when you're planting.  Ask an employee at the nursery what the ideal spacing for your rose breed is. Also prune your roses if they're growing close to each other. Dead leaves and other foliage can support fungal spores and spread them to other plants. Rake your yard whenever leaves or other debris start accumulating. Make sure to remove all the foliage within a few feet of the roses.  Clean up your yard especially after it rains. Wet foliage encourages fungal growth. If you have a compost pile, locate it far away from the roses. damaged parts of the plant. Damaged parts of the plant are especially susceptible to fungal growth. Monitor your roses and look for breaks, cuts, or other damage. Trim these parts away to discourage fungal growth.  Use a sharp pair of garden scissors to get a clean cut through the plant. Prune in dry weather so excess moisture doesn’t enter the plant. Letting moist debris and soil sit around creates a good environment for fungus. When you water, aim at the soil and not the plant itself. Don't use an overhead watering system. This keeps the leaves as dry as possible.  Water early in the morning so the water evaporates throughout the day. If you located your roses in a sunny spot, this should be no problem. The leaves will still get wet in the rain. This is why planting your roses in a sunny spot is important. If you don’t have a black spot-resistant breed, spray them regularly with fungicide to prevent infections. Most sprays suggest a 7-14-day schedule. Follow the directions on any product you use to get the best results. Remember that fungicides don’t kill black spot if it’s already growing. They only prevent it from spreading. The mulch covers up spores in the soil and prevents them from getting kicked up onto the plants. Spread 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) on mulch on all the soil in your garden to cover up any spores that may be hiding at ground level. If there was mulch on the ground when the black spot started, rake that all away and place a new layer down. The old mulch could be infected with spores. Even with all these precautions, it’s possible that black spot will still break out on one of your rose plants. Monitor your plants and inspect them once a week for any discolorations or other signs of black spot. If you do find black spot, work fast to stop it from spreading further. The most common early symptom of black spot is yellowing leaves. Then the characteristic black spots appear and spread throughout the leaf. Eventually, the leaves start falling off and the plant dies.
A: Plant black spot-resistant breeds of roses. Grow your roses in a sunny spot so they stay warm and dry. Space your roses 24–36 in (61–91 cm) apart to allow good air flow. Rake up all leaves and foliage around the roses. Prune Prevent the leaves and flowers from getting wet when you water. Treat the roses with a fungicide if they’re susceptible to black spot. Spread mulch to neutralize fungus spores in the soil. Inspect your roses regularly and treat black spot as soon as possible.
