Why do riders always get on their horses from the left side?
It's a tradition
The left side is the standard for interacting with horses
People are right-handers
It is not known
The majority of the population is right-handed. You have to go back to ancient times when horses were used as war mounts. Soldiers carry their swords on the left side (to reach with their right hand) and so they could only mount from the left or they would sit on their sword.

Dlaczego dosiadamy konia z lewej strony?
z tej strony lepiej widzi
tak przechylone są siodła
ze względu na praworęczność
konie są "lewostronne"
Większość populacji jest praworęczna. Z tego powodu rycerze nosili miecz na lewym boku, który dobywano prawą ręką. Tak zawieszona broń przeszkadzałaby jednak, gdyby wsiadali na konia z prawej strony. Przez co do dziś tradycyjnie dosiadamy konia z lewej strony.
