What is the Purpose of a Horse Mounting Block?

The purpose of a Horse Mounting Block is to aid riders in mounting and dismounting a horse, helping prevent injuries and making every horse accessible, even to kids. They’re also excellent for accessing the taller parts of your horse while grooming or braiding and can serve as all-purpose steps for an array of different barn chores.

There’s an assortment of different mounting blocks to serve your needs. You can find foldable horse mounting blocks for easy storage, 2-step, 3-step, and even 4-step mounting block options so you can mount the tallest of horses. If you’re on the go, you might find that a step stool or step box is the mounting block you need. The step stools can be carried in a bag while you trail ride, making mounting from anywhere possible. A step box is perfect for keeping in the trailer or while braiding because you can keep your grooming supplies inside the top.
