SADDLING TIPS
  Saddle fit is important and affects your horse’s comfort and your safety.  This month, we will cover saddling tips including safety, adjustments, fit, and position. 



I’ll start by talking about how I like to leave my saddle when I take it off.  I think it’s important to leave the saddle with the cinches and breast collar buckled up neatly on the off side, everything out of the way and not dragging on the ground.  Not only is this neat, but it keeps your equipment clean since your cinches are not going to be dragging in the dirt when you pick up the saddle, and it keeps the cinches from flying around and hitting your friends or your horse when you swing the saddle up onto your horse’s back.
