Mounting
There are several landing methods. Here is one of the simplest and most common.
Before you sit on a horse, you need to put it and stand next to it yourself. Landing is done in three stages.
First trick
Turn to the right, throw the reins around the horse’s neck, take half a step to the right, align the reins with your right hand, put the left hand on them above the withers with the palm down, hold them with a strand of mane with four fingers, and wind the end of this strand around your thumb, take the putliche with your right hand at the stirrup and turn half a turn to the right.
Second trick
Raising the left leg, insert it into the stirrup as deep as possible, without disturbing the horse with the toe of the boot; pushing off the ground with your right foot, grab the hind pommel with your right hand and rise on your left leg and hands, resting your left knee on the saddle, then, keeping your body straight, move your right outstretched leg over the horse’s croup without touching it, and at the same time, taking your right hand away from the back pommel, rest your outstretched fingers against the front of the saddle on the right side, then, squeezing your knees, smoothly lower yourself onto the saddle.
Third reception
Put your foot into the stirrup from the outside and take both stirrups so that they are on the widest part of the foot.
Keep your head down when you put your right foot in the stirrup. From the first lesson, you should learn to take the stirrup automatically, without thinking about how best to do it, and without looking at it. Therefore, look straight ahead, and with the toe of your right foot turned to the side of the horse, catch the stirrup.
By touch, find a position in which you will lean on the stirrups with the wide part of the left and right feet.
Drop your heels below your toes. Although at first it is very inconvenient to keep the toe up, in the future you will see the advantage of this.
Keep your head straight, turn and freely lower your shoulders, slightly bend your lower back. Sit on the horse upright, but without tension, so that the upper body is perpendicular to the horse’s back.
Check the position of the hands: their upper part, from the shoulder to the elbow, is freely lowered down and slightly touches your sides; elbows bent, reins clasped in hands.

I agree with you about the weight, and that not everyone can be jumped off the ground. Personally, I’ve only been doing equestrian sports for 1 year, but I already managed to fall off the horse, and at the very moment when I was jumping from the ground. and the horse is already happy old, almost 20 years old, and very shy, I almost jumped, I just wanted to throw my leg, she shied away, ran headless, and started to lie down with her back, and “dropped” me out of the saddle :DD Answer
