@nwebster289610 жыл бұрын
great video, agree with most of it, definitely stretching the horses legs out and making the lie of the hair comfortable, if your horse is comfortable so are you. I found throwing up the saddle onto the horses back quite amusing though. I always put my saddle on carefully so as not to thump it down onto the horses back and make them "cold backed", using my arm as a brace, putting the saddle on more forward and then drawing my arm out as I slide it back so it sits gently on the back. I definitely wouldn't shake it around that much, the horse didn't seem to appreciate it, and aside from ruffling up the hair we're so careful to lay flat, it settles into the right position when ridden in. Being careful and gentle is appreciated, and it's never made my girl spooky, she's probably the calmest animal I've owned in 30 years.

One note I would add is be careful when reaching under the horse's belly for the cinch. Be sure to stand at the shoulder as Rick does, or stand with your back toward the hind legs. If the horse is kicking at flies you could catch a hoof in the face. Good video Rick.

I do a lot of mountain riding.. the back cinch helps keep the saddle in place when riding up hills or down..it's not just for roping as some comments have made out to be. My front cinch doesn't have a buckle...it's all about the tightening & tie off... would have liked to see a little more of the tie off.I still have a problem getting it just right.Great video.. you can tell you care about your horse.
@KatieEvelyn111 жыл бұрын
If you have a good horse and your horse has trust in you it doesn't matter what side you do it on. I know that I could go out right now and get on my horse from the left side if I wanted to because he doesn't care. I believe in always making sure horses are okay with everything on both sides. Usually if they are okay with it on one side, the other is a completely different story. Its like having two different horses.
