I think a lot of the problem comes from the idea of this is how I do it so it’s the only right way. the way we were taught
we put the horse’s bridal on first.
then drop one rein he won’t move after that so no need for tying or hanging on to lead ropes.
then the pad saddle but I have never used the buckle on the cinch. do a Texas T I think they call it, and we don’t have problems. the black leathe on her pad our pads only have one it goes to the front of the saddle.

actually alot o0f people cinch up horses that way, me included. i have never had a saddle slip on me. just because its not tied dosent mean its not done correctly
December 31st, 2009 at 4:39 pm
she totally forgot to tie the latigo..Like a bow tie when your done so it doesn’t come off..I wanna see her ride in that saddle and see how fast that comes undone.

you know you can like, tie up the horse right???
December 31st, 2009 at 5:25 pm
and about the martingale/breast collar question, they give you less control over your horse on most horses;)
December 31st, 2009 at 5:26 pm
omg shes like clueless! the saddle pad is too far forward on the neck and when tightening the billet strap, u put it as tight as u can! the horse will naturally push out his stomach! its instinct, ppl, instinct for a horse to make sure he doesnt suffocate with a saddle, ur not gona get it too tight as long as the horse is alive lol!
December 31st, 2009 at 5:57 pm
is the saddle pad suppose to be on the neck like that?
December 31st, 2009 at 6:11 pm
she keeps standing directly in front of the camera!

December 31st, 2009 at 7:08 pm
