Mounting Aid
Mounty, the first automatic mounting aid
At the“Equitana 2003”, the biggest European equine trade show, Mounty received a prize for the most innovative product. Mounty is recommended by the German Horse Academy (“Deutsche Akademie des Pferdes”) and the German Fédération Equestre National (FN).
How do people usually mount a horse?
One person is using the garden bench in front of the stable.
One uses a small stepladder.
One brings his or her assistant.
Another climbs onto cavalettis or brings a chair.
Some use a plastic-mounting block cluttering the arena.
All have one thing in common: to mount the horse without shifting or tilting the saddle, without straining the horse’s back or making it nervous.
A solution for this problem has been worked on for more than a hundred years. There are even patents like the small stirrup fastened rope ladder or loop devices with a roll up mechanism, but there is only one Mounty.
The advantages of using Mounty:
Fully integrated into the kick board
Clutter free arena
Wide and sturdy step 40”x16”
Silent and gentle automatic closing
Universal installation either onto wall or ground
Height of installation depending on preference
Easy installation, no wear, no maintenance
Rugged & reliable steel construction, with a tested static
It is not beyond sportsmanship to mount a horse with an aid; on the contrary it is helping the horse’s back. The taller the horse the more strain on its back, while mounted.
Scientific test done by the German Riding Academy show that Mounty is the ideal solution.
Advantages of using a mounting aid:
no strain on the horse’s back muscles
no strain on the horse’s spine
the weight shift from stirrup to the saddle is minimal
decrease in muscle tension and relief for “cold backed” horses
no change of form and shape of the saddle
The German Horse Academy , the German FN, equine vets and therapists know the beneficial use of Mounty for any horse but especially for the sensitive ones. That is why experienced horse people recommend Mounty.
