    I would say for a lot of people who aren’t horseman, such as myself, stick around for these videos you can learn a lot from Dewayne even if you’re not into the wrangling lifestyle.

      Dewaynes videos are superficially about horses, and I’ve learned much about horse care from them - however they are really a means to address what it means to be a man. Attitudes, relationships and respect. General approach to life.
      I appreciate these video on many levels.

    Even though it’s a video about saddling a horse, there’s a message about life in there.
    I love that!!! 👍🏼❤️

    "Be nice to your horse, set him up to succeed." There is always a lesson in every one of your videos. I hope to come out and ride with you and mama in the next few years. Thank you for sharing Dewayne. Hope all is well!

    I'm in my 60's and have ridden for about 40 of those 60 years and even though I preferred riding bareback, NO ONE ever explained saddling a horse this way. THANK YOU! Wow, all those years I was doing it wrong. 😢

    Ive been riding and wrangling all my life, and when friends ask me to teach them to ride but have no knwodlege of horses I direct them to videos like this. You explained everything perfectly, alligning the concho with the end of their scapula is how I was taught. Thank you for making a quality video I can show people so I dont have to be teaching them for a couple hours with my horses tied up.

      One of the best barrel racers is paralyzed from the waist down. Her name is Amberley Snyder. They made a movie about her called Walk. Ride. Rodeo. Never let your disability define you.

    • @davodeden2714
      @davodeden2714 9 месяцев назад +5

      I dated an ol’gal who worked for a placed that used horse for paralyzed people. It seems if you lay a person across the rump it strengthens the back. Then when that get done for awhile , you set them up which strengthens the front.
      Like the other fellow said; look around to see what’s available in your area. The have that 40 seconds of insane bravery and try.
      Till then my Prayers

      My grandpa is half paralyzed. It happened from a stray bullet during hunting season when he was young, and he is still riding horses. If you ever want to ride a horse, I encourage you to do so! I know nothing of your life, but I want you to know it's possible for you to do if you ever want to and don't let anyone tell you different. God bless!

  • @laurelsayer7557
    @laurelsayer7557 9 месяцев назад +13

    I agree, I always remember being told to ensure my English saddle sat just behind the shoulder so that the horse's shoulder wasn't blocked when the horse moved his leg back. Also that the back of the saddle didn't extend behind the last rib.

      Not to be ugly, but I created my own channel to put out the content that I wish to put out. I will not determine what content I’m going to put out based on what one person tells me they want to see. No offense, but I don’t know the difference when you’re watching or when you’re not. I will continue to put out whatever Contant I feel on my heart at the time is needed. You can start watching again or not, however you choose. It’s all good.

    Very good video. Unfortunately, I bet you stepped on a few toes.
    I was shown this nearly 60 years ago, not near as nicely as you did. An old uncle came out, saw us saddling up his horse. He jerked the saddle off and showed us how to saddle a horse correctly. Only difference he offered to put our back pocket up somewhere between our shoulders.
    I love ya'lls videos, thank you for all that ya'll do, and thanks, Momma for your camera work.
    God bless ya'll for aii you do. And stay safe out there on your trails.

    FINALLY. Thank you for this well informed, easy to understand video with CORRECT information. I'm a horse trainer and western saddle "fitter" (I use that term loosely as most fitters in my area are from an English background and haven't the first clue about western saddles).
    98% of the horses I work with or am fitting, they have the tree right up on the horses shoulders. Or even worse, use hollow treed Indian import saddles. I was going to make my own video on this for clients, but you saved me the time-now I can just send them yours.

    Unfortunately for me, i live outside of the US and in a place where you can only dream of having enough money to buy land and get your own horses. The people who own a lot of land here are farmers (and godbless them), usually these lands have been passed down and have been in their families for generations. I'd love nothing more than to live a nice humble life outside of a city, with my own land, own cattle and horses. But i know that will never be a reality for me, so dewaynes videos, for me, are a gift that keeps on giving. God bless ya dewayne.

    @Jules-fh4rf 9 месяцев назад +7

    What a great demo! I've moved saddles back after noticing a weird change in gait. Thought that was due to shoulder restriction. Loved how you addressed the weight aspect- especially down-hill. I generally place the saddle on the withers then slide it back several inches till it finds that sweet spot where it seems to lock in. Sort of a 'feel' thing. Does that work, too? Would love to hear you address proper fit of breastcollars and different types/uses as they relate to conformation and diciplines. You're a wealth of good info, so glad you pass it along. Big congrats to you and Momma for making it big and keeping things real❤

  • @matteodor1355

    Thank you for these explanations. It all brought me back to a time when I was introduced to horse riding, as a child. I remember that it is important to connect with your horse, and that they can feel what you feel. So I think that treating your horse right is part of the whole process :)

    I already have tried this out, and tried on saddles at my friends' and I am amazed. (See previous comment below). She was fitted with the bars on the shoulders and it was uneven with every tree over a dozen years ago, so I was convinced to go treeless. Now, I haven't minded riding in a treeless all these years, my saddle is super comfortable for her and I, but I will feel a little more secure for cantering practice. I have sent this to several of my horse friends and this will be fun to reevaluate our horses. Thank you DeWayne! I literally stumbled onto this video! I cantered last week in a western barrel saddle and no buck or resistance at all. First time in 16 years that I've owned her!

    Sometime, sir, I hope to see video of you finishing the saddling of a horse...as in, how snug do you tighten the cinch and belly band? And how do you fit a bridle properly to a horse? All their heads are different, too. So many questions I have about proper saddling and bridling procedures! Because a horse's comfort, health, and safety should always come first....especially since they're doing you the service of carrying you around. 😊

  • @tracyjohnson5023
    @tracyjohnson5023 9 месяцев назад +1

    Love this video! Two options for a cinch workaround when the saddle is placed correctly behind the scapula, but due to rigging cinch is too far forward.
    The first is what is erroneously called shoulder relief cinch. It's actually elbow relief. The cinch is a curved cutaway shape to allow more elbow room.
    The second is take your saddle to a good saddle shop and get it reworked to change rigging position if possible.
    The first option is cheaper and better imo. Caveat would be if you love that saddle and are using it on one horse or several that all have same issue.

    I rode a lot in Yosemite and I found it helped to anticipate what was going to happen during the first few miles, like if it was going to be really steep uphill I would start with it a little bit forward knowing it would settle back and vice versa, helped not having to stop the string in awkward spots for adjustments.

  • @hardluk3
    @hardluk3 9 месяцев назад

    I think I remember the original of this topic. I had just had a “professional “ saddle fitter come fit my pony for a saddle. Where he had it was right up on the scapular. It was a saddle that could be rigged full or 7/8 he had it rigged 7/8. Once I got it back of the scapula where it belonged I was able to move the cinch ahead and still have room without rubbing. I appreciate you giving your knowledge out for free. One day I hope to make it to your school.

    Loved the video. When i first learned to saddle, many moons ago, i was told to put it behind their "arm pit", that never seemed right to me, but i was a greenhorn. Glad to know i improved. The back cinch was also something that bugged me. I was always told to have space between the body & the cinch. Never understood that either.

Tied horses up to inter tubes etc.Broke horses not trained. Lord forbid if you ponied from left for ANY reason. Been out of horses for some yrs. Learned a lot of better ways on this channel. Hoping to get back into them soon.
