I would love it if the video mentioned proper placement of the saddle pad. The end of the pad should rest at mid shoulder. I hate to see saddles and pads sitting too far back on a horse's back. Thank you for these great instructional videos!

i do have a question. how many times do u put the strap through the bottom D ring

I was always taught to put the saddle pad up higher and slide it into the proper position as well so that way it goes with the horse hair and not against it, which can irritate the horse. I like how the camera moves with her so you can see what she is doing when she is doing it. However I wasn't told to make sure the saddle pad is tucked into the gullet of your saddle so it just goes to show you can learn something new everyday.

Good video... very helpful, thanks

Excellent! Many of the other videos on youtube don't show explain to place the pad high and slide it back, into it's proper placement. I'm strict about that on my horse.

I liked the way she was calm and assertive and was very clear on how to put a saddle on correctly. Great video.

Normally you put it through at least two times and it can be more depending on how long your latigo is. Make sure if you have it looped on both sides of your cinch that it is the same or close to the same number of loops on either side.
