MOUNTING ISSUES COURSE
By Tristan Tucker
Never worry about getting on again. So every ride starts standing still.
Walking off, biting, refusing the block: mounting drama is tension with a predictable trigger. Nine video lessons that teach him to stand and wait, without ever needing a helper.

Who is this course for?
The ride has not started yet, and you are already negotiating.
The horse that will not stand
One foot in the stirrup and he is off. You hop alongside, you circle back to the block, you try again. Some days it takes five minutes, some days fifteen, and it is slowly getting worse instead of better.
The rider who needs a helper
Getting on only works when someone holds him. Which means no riding when the yard is empty, and a quiet apology every time you ask again. You want to be able to get on your own horse, alone.
The horse that turns and bites
Teeth at your leg, at the block, at the girth. It is not naughtiness, it is tension with nowhere to go, and it makes the start of every ride feel like a confrontation you did not choose.
Sound familiar?
- He walks off the moment your foot touches the stirrup.
- He backs away from the block before you are even on it.
- Someone has to hold him, or there is no ride.
- He crowds you against the block until there is no room to get on.
- You have tried treats at the block. He stands until they run out.
- Getting on at a show or a new yard is twice as bad as at home.
- You are braced for the first three seconds after you land in the saddle.
"Your horse does not need a dramatic mounting problem for this to be worth doing. A horse that truly stands and waits at the block is safer for every rider who will ever get on him."

The real problem
He isn't reacting to the object. He's reacting to his own body.
Standing still at the block asks a lot more of a horse than it looks. He has to hold his own balance, let you climb above him, and wait, with the tension he already carries and no way to move it out. Walking off, backing up, biting: those are not opinions about you. They are what tension does when a horse has to stand still and cannot.
What the TRT Method does differently
Mounting is a training, not a moment. We do not park him and hope. He learns to release tension while standing, on the ground first, then at the block, until standing and waiting is something he can actually do with his body. Then the four classic issues each get their own step-by-step answer.
Your instructor
Meet Tristan Tucker.
Tristan spent years working with horses at the top of the sport, and with the horses that were not coping with it. What he kept finding was the same thing: the behaviour everyone was trying to train away was a body that had never learned how to come back down.
The TRT Method came out of that, and it is now used by more than 122,000 riders in over 90 countries.
The Mounting Issues Course covers the thirty seconds of riding that most training skips, and that decide how every ride begins.
Lesson plan
Mounting is a training. Here is the whole of it.
You do not start at the block. You start with the tension that arrives there with him.

Yes. The Mounting Issues Course is one of the courses inside the TRT Advanced Riding Course. If you own that, the Tristan Tucker Collection or a TRT membership, you already have every lesson on this page.
