  • thank you soo much i am a english ridder yet have a western horse and i always need help.

  • What is with all the people I see on YouTube telling people to use the rear cinch on western type saddles? I was always taught to A. Take it off if you can or B. just leave it loosely buckled (I mean dangling loose) if it can't be removed. I was taught the horses just don't much care for a rear cinch and if the saddle slides back, you will be doing a face plant when the horse throws you. LOL

  • i dont have a horse and im watching this?!?! maybe its becuase i want one so bad!

  • This is how I saddle my horse, except i don't do the texas T thing, i just do a tie thing that looks like a man's tie.

  • @juniedoonie Same here!

  • u need to strech their legs because horses do hold there breath wen u saddle em up and wen they relax they will have exsas skin and wen u ride the skin will go into a ball qnd the saddle will rub agient that skin and cause it to get irritated and THEY ARE SSOO STUBBORN 2 GET RIDE OF TRUST me just trying 2 help

  • i think the saddle pad is on backwads because isnt the black part supposed to be near the cinch ??

  • That is not fitting it is tacking up....

  • NO SPURS!!!!!!
