@angelpaws123 How critical..Did you view to see how she saddled a horse, or what sex the horse was? All of yu that know what youre doing should be viewing something else..this is for those of us learning, and for those learning...be shure to view several videos to make a decision on the most common way used to decided right from wrong...Im a new owner but have loved and been around horses most of my life.

Horses blow their tummys up when you strap on the cinch, so you lift up their front legs to make sure you did not lock and loose skin under the cinch. The horse also gives more room to tie the chinch when you lift their legs up. When running on a horse you do not want your sadle to come lose all of a sudden and slip on you.

What size saddle is that

[AnimalLeftist]

Another one who doesn't tent the saddle pad, and pulls the pad forward. You crink the hair. You put pressure on the withers. Tenting the pad is for ensuring the withers are not pinched, either. Weird. Tenting the pad should be universal, imho. Not just an english thing.

This would be easier to learn from if the instructor wasn't in the way of seeing how to secure the saddle.

Its a girl!! SHE HAS TWO TEETS!!!!!

This is a nice, informative video. However, she should consider standing to the side a little or moving the camera to a different angle when she is showing the process of wrapping the cinch.

they arent pinned at all theres a massive difference between a stressed horse with crazy eyes and pinned ears and a relaxed calm trustworthy horse keeping theyre ears on you listening to you. its a sign the horse respects her and is paying attention to her.
