Clean the shoulder portion of your horse under the seat, because it may irritate your horse.
Place the seat pad under the seat; it has given protection during the time of riding.
After the proper seat allocation, grab the pommel and jump to the horse's shoulder then hoist your feet and slide the feet into the seat brace and go up to the horse saddles back.
Then you have to check your balance as per your comfort level
Pick up the reins before the ride for the proper balancing.
