  • that saddle looks way to small for the horse

  • @Horsebackriderx2 i agree thats how i was taught too

  • I was always taught to have put the reins over the neck, take off both cross ties, take off the halter and then bridle.

  • Okay. I don't get all these comments about the saddle being "Way too far forward". I can easily see that the saddle is resting on the withers, and I know that this can cause severe pain to the horse...but if you look at the girth, it's almost perfectly placed, though it is slightly forward. Also, the horse obviously had high withers, so that's going to mean the saddle must rest a little on the withers. Now the bit. That is just ridiculous.
