Reminds me of a city boy that wanted to ride my horse way back when I was a kid. He put the wrong foot in the stirrip and ended up sitting on the horse backward.
I had a good laugh and told him he was facing the wrong way, then I said well maybe not, which direction are you planning on going?
BTW, after a couple of weekends he decided to show me how to jump fences with the horse. Off he went at full speed towards the fence. I saw it coming, but you couldn't tell him anything.
He did in fact jump the fence-- but without the horse which stopped on a dime at the fence. He broke his shoulder. Never came out again.
