Getting your horse to stand patiently while you're hitched or mounted takes a little practice, but it pays off for a lifetime! This is the third (well, technically the fourth) lesson plan in the Stand series of lesson plans. The groundwork from "Stand 1 - In Hand Work", plus "Stand 2 - Hitching", or "Stand 2.5 - Mounting" gives you the best chance for success in the project of giving your horse the skill to be still when you have him in work. -
Having your horse standing quietly while you're mounting is more than a convenience, it’s critical to your safety. You can teach your horse to stand while you mount if you use the right approach. This lesson plan is the third in the series of lesson plans devoted to the subject. While it can be used on it's own, you'll have greater success if you work through "Stand 1 - In Hand Training" first.

This is by far one of my most popular classes. Standing is one of the most universally important skills you can teach your horse.
Not only does this training make your horse safer and easier to be around, it improves your horse’s responsiveness to all other forms of training as well.
If you are having any behavior issues with your horse, this is the first line of training I recommend!

This is the story of how two rotten ponies taught me how to teach horses everywhere how to stand. Read it for fun, but there's some good insight in there too!

Any horse can be taught to stand. You just need a reliable method for teaching him that skill. Once you’ve trained this skill, every other skill you are working on will become much easier to teach (even the ones that don’t involve being still.)
