The Left-Right-Wrong Conundrum

As you probably know, there is a right and a wrong side for mounting . . . the horse, that is. The right side happens to be the wrong side. This leaves us the left, which is right. Therefore, since the left is right, and the right the wrong, we begin by placing the left foot - that's the right foot - in the left stirrup, which is right, being the left of course, since the right would be wrong. Now, this is important enough to bear repeating: remember that since the right is always wrong, the left has to be right; ALRIGHT? Now, this happens to be the wrong side, which sometimes leads to slight difficulties.
