“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®.
