No, I have just watched the mounting sequence, and have come to the long-known conclusion that is indeed impossible, that is, for any of humanoid form... He generates motion from nowhere, and then moves in the opposite direction of that motion, add to that the fact that he was standing still and the horse was at a fast canter, the fact that there is an 80 kg dwarf atop the horse and the fact that the move would have broken his arm, and you'd still only be about a third of the way through the reasons of impossibilty!
It looks very CG as well...
Oh, the days of cheesy Legolas stunts... one would almost go as far to say that they are all he does in the films - sliding down stairs on shields, swinging onto horses, jumping all over moving Oliphaunts, doing backflips, jumping up and down... oh dear! No wonder the race of elves is declining!
