I’m actually waiting for my instructor to email my mom about my schedule for lessons (once a month for an hour) and I still get confused on how to tack my training horse up. This vid helped a lot but I’m a scrawny 12 year old and I can’t lift the saddle, so I need help with that, but, yea
I really like how gentle you were in this video, I've seen other videos where people pretty much did everything wrong 😂 Didn't relieve wither pressure, threw saddle on too harsh, throatlatch too tight, everything 😂 And honey is literally so cute agh
As an english rider who knows nothing about riding western, this was by far the most detailed and helpful tacking up video I have ever seen (english or western)!
Carol Charat yeah you're not supposed to sit under your horses belly brushing his legs either but I do 😂 without a riding hat on... he has been my best friend for 9 years and I know him very well so I trust him with my life and do lots of things you "should never" do according to instructors
i love this video because its the only video that tells you how to tack up a horse better and it explains how to to tack up a horse more better with the sitch and everything
I'm helping with a birthday party today at the barn, and everyone there starts off western, but I'm an english rider so I really needed something to help point me in the right direction here lol. Thanks!
I love watching your videos!!! I recently just got a horse so I've watched most of tour videos. They really have helped me learn new things! I just want to say Thank you!!!!
I have a bare back saddle and I love riding my horse using the bare back saddle and my horse is perfectly fine with it and I don't even use a bridle I just use a halter and a lead rope to control my horse and my horse listens
I’m currently a English rider and I asked to borrow my trainers western saddle and I did a slow canter around the barrels and I loveeeeee it so I’m about to buy one and I’m super excited
Thanks this helped so much. I usually ride English but I have a western saddle, so I'm going to try it(haven't ridden western in forever) and ur horse is so cute😍
the two thin ones are for decoration and the one that is thicker and has holes Is for a back cinch which is for extra support when opening and to help keep the back of the saddle from coming up
Carol Charat The back cinch is very useful when you're roping calves/steers, since they will pull the rope tight. The back cinch helps keep the saddle stabilized during those situations.
Those thinner ones on the flower lookin thing are decor, but some westerns use em to whip the flank (without hurting them) to get them to move when they aren't responding to normal commands, or to get them to stop misbehaving
Awesome video! I'm working at a ridingschool now and I tack up the horse of the owner when she goes on a trail ride with people and she has a western saddle so this was super helpfull since I only ride English :D
I think this is the best video I've watched you handle your horse so well I love how pretty she is I have a quarter horse his name is lucky then I have 2 other quarter horses named Spartan and ghost .
I have had horses for years and ride Western and English, so I don't need to learn how tack up and off, as I've been doing it forever😂. But if I did need to learn, your video was very informative for those beginners out there! Great job!
Thanks this was very helpful, I started riding in August at a training stable and I train on a horse named Nugget (he’s adorable). And I’m 12 so I’m hoping I get a horse when I’m older and more educated. I always mess up with the girth (cinch) and how many times to loop it and stuff but this really helps. The way you do it seems a little more simple then the way I have to do it but it was still really helpful 👌 thank youuu ❤️
Thank you so much! I'm starting western riding soon, and even though it's easier said than done, this really helped! :) (Btw, I'm coming from English saddle)
this is a really helpful video for me since I was never taught how to saddle and everyone just did everything for me. I excercise someone's horse and they have a chest plate and it's pretty understandable but. Overall this was a helpful video.
I'm in the UK so we don't have Western but I recently cleaned up a friend's western saddle and it might fit one of her pony's (we don't know) but we don't know the first thing about western tacking up thanks for this x
I love this video, I have watched it about 50 times. I am a 13 year old girl, who has been looking for a partner for years but I have never been able to get one, cause of were we have to move. My father is in the military so that makes it difficult. I have memorized ever word in this video, hoping soon I will have a partner to start my career as a rodeo star.
Omg thank you I only ride western . so this video helped me learn to tack my horse up.I ride in the summer at a horse camp I hate English riding so I ride western
I have been riding for so long but I just love videos like this also putting Western saddles on tall horses like mine is very hard because I have a shire and a lot of the times I have to stand on a step stool
I always wanted to ride my horse I asked my dad and he said we'll if u want to ride her saddle her up yourself so thank you very much u helped me now I can saddle her on my spare time 😊😊
Thank you so much. I don't have anough land to own a horse. But just in case I've been researching on horses for I think k about 6 years now. But I won't use a bit tho. Love this. Good job!
Thanks for this video xD I just started riding, but my parents aren’t a big fan of me doing it. They want me to do an ‘actual sport’ which is super annoying to me because I’ve never like sports, and I have always dreamed of riding horses and just had a love for them. So, instead of doing lessons I just watch these videos lol
So what do you do with the pin on the girth that should be going into the hole of the leather? It was sticking out and you didn't say what you do with it.
This video really helped lol I’m switching from English to western I thought it would be a lot harder to tack a western horse but it looks easier, is it possible for a horse to be fat for the girth? Cause my uncle has horses and they are so chubby! It’s really Hard to lighten the girth , When I lease one of them I’m going to get him in shape, my uncles likes fattening his pets!
Yes it just depends on the horse! You can measure their girth before purchasing the cinch, they make them in different sizes. Haha i definitely need a bigger size for Honey she's gained weight! Lol
Basically, you do what she did. But I personally, my saddle has a loop above the cinching ring (the thingy the latigo is attached to) that I put the excess latigo in until there's no excess. But usually, unless I'm riding a horse that's a little picky about things flipping around, I run it through once, so that it's not as low down, and leave it.
I know this is old, but I'm wondering if your horse may have a slight injury.. when you placed your saddle pad, your horse's disposition completely changed.. notice how she turned her head slightly and nipped?
So I might be getting a horse sooner or later and I was wondering, what are the most important things for a horse? I’ve never had a horse before and I’ve never had experience with one. The only thing I’ve done was ride one. So what would my benefits be if I do get a horse?
My horse I had when I was a kid use to bloat her stomach like that. The first time I tacked her up I didn't realize it being in to much of a rush to double check like I knew I was supposed to, so when I stuck a foot in the stirrup and started to lift myself up I landed square on my butt I swear she was laughing at me!
I ride western but got English for christmas but luckily i rode English before with my friend and did really well and even jumped and stayed on after falling off millions of times on my horse
I don’t ride western style but I like all horse videos and all I’m saying is make sure u don’t hold the loop around your arm/hand because if they run of it’ll pull ur arm/hand of but apart from that this vid was amazing
My back cinch gets is tight when i put it on (his belly gets wrinkly) but when i get on, the cinch is loose ( it isnt ever touching him) so what do i do??? My saddle is 18lbs, Ive been riding for 3 months, my horse is a super calm 3 year old stallion, who sometimes bucks when he hears a motorcycle, but its ok because he only bucks once just to tell me he is scared
If you mean what I think you do about putting the halter around their neck to keep them from walking away, I would just use a lead-rope or the reins to keep them from running away! Also, it doesn't hurt them if you ride with a halter underneath the bridle! Hope this helps:)
So I have lived in Texas my whole life and when I was in kindergarten I dreamed to be a barrel racer. One day when I was like 10 or 11 my dream came true of riding a horse without anyone leading me. I went to a camp where I learned how to take care of and ride a horse at a walk and trot. The fall after that I started doing lessons and learned to barrel race I am now 13 and have been doing lessons for almost a year now. We would have a horse or two but we don’t have any land and can’t afford to move. Any advice for me? ( btw I know how to tack up fully, walk, trot, lope, lead, turn out, and feed)
The way you tied your cinch strap is called “the texas t” and nobody does it these days but basically me and you😂 didnt know someone else did their cinches like this. Also i like how you put english rains on your western bridal

Justin Merritt are you going to be riding western or English?
The official G I’m hoping (and pretty sure) I ride English. I wanna be able to jump, and we all know it’ll hurt BADLY with a western saddle. So ya
Justin Merritt have fun!
I really like how gentle you were in this video, I've seen other videos where people pretty much did everything wrong 😂 Didn't relieve wither pressure, threw saddle on too harsh, throatlatch too tight, everything 😂 And honey is literally so cute agh
Her mother rides so she probably taught her good habits
thank you so much . I see SO many people doing English these days. I ride both English and Western!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I'm soo glad this helped you!!! :)
Liz Martin exactly
@Chris Robinson I would like to know why you don’t like western saying you ride English
@@fisho2718 me eather I don't like western because when I was younger I rode western and every one hated me and now that I'm English everyone likes me

As an english rider who knows nothing about riding western, this was by far the most detailed and helpful tacking up video I have ever seen (english or western)!
Thank you! Your comment means a lot!
Of course
My mentor teaches me not to loop a rope around my arm (or hand), for safety reasons.
Carol Charat yeah you're not supposed to sit under your horses belly brushing his legs either but I do 😂 without a riding hat on... he has been my best friend for 9 years and I know him very well so I trust him with my life and do lots of things you "should never" do according to instructors
Jess93 riding a horse in general you have to trust them with your life
Baby Sky926 exactly. I trust my horses more than any person lol
Carol Charat the house was tied up
Mine too but tbh, I don’t listen😂
i love this video because its the only video that tells you how to tack up a horse better and it explains how to to tack up a horse more better with the sitch and everything
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Well I am one of those who use to ride English and I’m now switching to western. So thank you for the refresher course. You did great!!
I ride English and I’m switching to western and dude your so much help. Thanks for making this video!
Hunter jumper here! I had to pick up western due to my back issues and I love it 🥰
Thank you very much in the spring my step dad is bringing three horses out can't wait
I'm helping with a birthday party today at the barn, and everyone there starts off western, but I'm an english rider so I really needed something to help point me in the right direction here lol. Thanks!

I love watching your videos!!! I recently just got a horse so I've watched most of tour videos. They really have helped me learn new things! I just want to say Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for watching! Congrats on your new horse!
I have a bare back saddle and I love riding my horse using the bare back saddle and my horse is perfectly fine with it and I don't even use a bridle I just use a halter and a lead rope to control my horse and my horse listens
Kyra Dutra Bareback saddle or pad?
I ride in a bareback pad, with a bitless bridle too! My horse is green, but I will eventually teach him to neckrope
Sometimes I use my barrel saddle during basic workouts just to give my horse a little break bc it’s so much lighter.
I’m currently a English rider and I asked to borrow my trainers western saddle and I did a slow canter around the barrels and I loveeeeee it so I’m about to buy one and I’m super excited
What brend is your saddle pad? I kinda like it lol!
Thankyou!!! I am a English rider but I’m gonna try to ride western and now I know how to tack up the saddle! Thankyou!❤️
im going on a western horse camp, and ive only once rode western and the rest of the times ive rode English... going in 4 days.
verrrry helpful thanks
Who else knows how to tack up but just enjoys watching these videos
thanks for the help i have a horse now and i always get confused about saddling my horse but now i know so thank you so much
Thanks this helped so much. I usually ride English but I have a western saddle, so I'm going to try it(haven't ridden western in forever) and ur horse is so cute😍
I'm glad it helped! Thanks, I think she's cute, too:D
I have a question. I ride English and know basically nothing about Western. On the saddle, what are the extra straps used for?
the two thin ones are for decoration and the one that is thicker and has holes Is for a back cinch which is for extra support when opening and to help keep the back of the saddle from coming up
"when opening?" What are you opening?
Carol Charat The back cinch is very useful when you're roping calves/steers, since they will pull the rope tight. The back cinch helps keep the saddle stabilized during those situations.

Really thankful for this! I have ridden english all my life but I'm going to a western riding camp. This helped me a lot and now I feel prepared!
Thanks so much for this vid! I am leasing a horse soon and really needed this! :3
I love your saddle because I have a similar one and I think it's sooo comfy and noce
This was awesome!!! Best one yet! I could never figure out the cinch! In your vid I could clearly see you doing it and fully understand!!! Tysm💗😊
Aww, glad it helped! Thanks so much!
i love honey and all of your horse videos they are so helpful and you ride so good
Ugh I love that saddle 💕

Your horse is adorable! :3 I wish I had a horse, I would ride western riding, which is why I watched this video XD
what do you use to record your videos and edit, cause you have good quality
I use the iPhone 5c for this video and iMovie for editing!
Thanks for this video xD I just started riding, but my parents aren’t a big fan of me doing it.

and what are those things called that is attached to your saddle strings ? are they called Chicago Screws ?
Wow!! Thank you this helped me soo much I watch it ever day Thank you!!!
I'm glad! Thanks!
So what do you do with the pin on the girth that should be going into the hole of the leather? It was sticking out and you didn't say what you do with it.
OML I LOVE YOUR ACCENT!!
Can you make a video on how to do a buck strap on a western saddle, and do you also ride English?
I ride both English and western and I live it!
This video really helped lol I’m switching from English to western I thought it would be a lot harder to tack a western horse but it looks easier, is it possible for a horse to be fat for the girth? Cause my uncle has horses and they are so chubby! It’s really Hard to lighten the girth , When I lease one of them I’m going to get him in shape, my uncles likes fattening his pets!
Yes it just depends on the horse! You can measure their girth before purchasing the cinch, they make them in different sizes. Haha i definitely need a bigger size for Honey she's gained weight! Lol
this the first vid I saw of urs and I didint like I loved it plz make more
Thanks!
Do you have any recommendations on a tack store? And what store?
Do we need to get a breast collar for the horse? because I am saving ups to get a horse and I want to make sure Im not getting anything I dont need
I ride a really tall horse so tacking up is a bit of a struggle but I'm usest to it 😃😃
you know when you have a belt you had that little metal flippy tongue thing and you put it through the hole where do you put it on your saddle ?
Basically, you do what she did. But I personally, my saddle has a loop above the cinching ring (the thingy the latigo is attached to) that I put the excess latigo in until there's no excess. But usually, unless I'm riding a horse that's a little picky about things flipping around, I run it through once, so that it's not as low down, and leave it.
Your horse is so beautiful😍
Beautiful horse💕 Also you're gorgeous and look like Hailee Steinfeild
This is the best video ever , thank you !
What Brand is your saddle pad?😃 Loved the video!💜
My saddle pad is a Ortho-Flex! Booth the saddle and the saddle pad were given to me along with the horse! LOL:) I'm so glad you liked it! :)
That’s a beautiful horse!
What kind of bridle do you use for western
I know this is old, but I'm wondering if your horse may have a slight injury.. when you placed your saddle pad, your horse's disposition completely changed.. notice how she turned her head slightly and nipped?

What is the brand of your saddle and will you put a link to it? You have a gorgeous saddle and horse!!! Great video!!!
Sure! It's a Circle Y saddle. Here's the link to the website www.circley.com/Hope this helps!
Thank you!
Where did you get the head stall? i have been trying to find one like that but i cant and they all just look really unconformable.
thanks for sharing! I'm just learning so that was so helpful!
Thanks! I'm glad it helped!
1:32
UGH IM AN IDIOT
I never even though about doing that 😩
Does iy matter if there's a wither hole on the saddle pad?
that's a beautiful horse
I think your videos are great and don't know why there aren't any morse views or subscribers.
My horse I had when I was a kid use to bloat her stomach like that. The first time I tacked her up I didn't realize it being in to much of a rush to double check like I knew I was supposed to, so when I stuck a foot in the stirrup and started to lift myself up I landed square on my butt I swear she was laughing at me!
Its sooo hard to get my saddles on my horses!!! They are sooo soo talll!!!! Urghh!!! U made it look so easy!! 😂😂
on the other side that the cinch is already attached to.. what is that bit of leather called?
The off billit.
I ride western but got English for christmas but luckily i rode English before with my friend and did really well and even jumped and stayed on after falling off millions of times on my horse
I don’t ride western style but I like all horse videos and all I’m saying is make sure u don’t hold the loop around your arm/hand because if they run of it’ll pull ur arm/hand of but apart from that this vid was amazing

My saddle is 18lbs, Ive been riding for 3 months, my horse is a super calm 3 year old stallion, who sometimes bucks when he hears a motorcycle, but its ok because he only bucks once just to tell me he is scared
Just a tip
If you can put your hand between your d-ring and latigo and barely be able to pull it, it is perfect
Question: what do you do if you have a halter, that does not untie??
If you mean what I think you do about putting the halter around their neck to keep them from walking away, I would just use a lead-rope or the reins to keep them from running away! Also, it doesn't hurt them if you ride with a halter underneath the bridle! Hope this helps:)

Where did you get your bridle?
What kind if pad do you have?

On the thumbnail I noticed that the reins were behind the horn. Is that dangerous? I was told not to do it. But I love how your gentle with your horse
Thanks this video helped me a lot
i love this video.
nice video and really helpful. whats the intro song????
Thanks! I'm not really sure what the intro song is cause it was on my phone as a free song, but I will let you know when I find out!
The way you tied your cinch strap is called “the texas t” and nobody does it these days but basically me and you😂 didnt know someone else did their cinches like this. Also i like how you put english rains on your western bridal
Uh - actually everyone does
Not really, no
