@@tuvastromgren no sadly, we have to finish our yard first and make sure it's all ready before we get one. My dad said it should take more than a couple months tho 😁 what's your horse name and breed?
Iris Hammond thank you. I love horses so damn much. When it comes to riding, I love riding bareback. The reason is because you feel everything that horse does. You feel every respiration as their lungs expand and contract. Every muscle movement. Every twitch. Every shake. Every step. You really feel it when they ascend and descend hills. People have the misconception in their heads that the most important part of a blind person’s perception is their hearing. This is not true. When it comes to working withhorses, the most important thing I can pay attention to is what I feel.
Iris Hammond you’re welcome. You may have to try and find a trainer, but there’s no pressure. I was just thinking of a solution. Enjoy living that ranch life as much as I do.
As an experienced rider I felt kinda silly having to watch a tutorial on tacking a horse. I've been riding for 44 years. But I have always ridden western or bare back. I just bought an English setup and wasn't 100% on how to put the saddle together. I just have to say I love your attitude. You were specific in your instruction and extremely helpful. Thank you!!
Same here. Lol my thoroughbred shape is wrong for my western saddle and I need to build his back muscles before I try to fit him better and luckily someone had an English saddle that fit him nicely so here I am lol learning new things.
People in the comments 49%: Already Know How to Tack up a Horse 49%: Want a horse but doesn’t ride and will never get a horse 2%: actually needs to know how to tack up 😂😂
Hey everyone if you want to get a horse but it’s too hard don’t worry you’ll get there , hold on to your dreams and make it happen because trust me anything is possible.And I can tell most people that are watching this might want a horse and yes I’ve been waiting for years (literally) I have been riding since I was four, now I’m 11 and I’m still not there yet ,but I won’t give up,I will work hard get a good job and save up when I’m older. By the way I’m not doing this for likes I just want you to remember that that your dreams aren’t impossible x. Edit: thank you soo much for the likes I never thought I get this much!
That’s great I’ve been riding for 3-4 years idk when anymore 😅 I have a horse and he is 17.2 appendix named Tim that I share with my sister. Plus hard to tack up because rim only 5 feet tall!
I thought that too, been riding since I was 4. Horse obsessed. But as soon as you get older and school/college/university gets in the way you realise you don’t have as much time as you thought you would. My parents aren’t horsey either so they couldn’t join me in my enthusiasm. As soon as you have to pay for bills and living yourself there’s often no money left for horses. I have a good job too. Not saying to give up on your dreams but don’t feel like you’ve failed if you don’t achieve it and get one of your own. There’s still lots of ways to ride frequently and you’d be surprised how many people need a hand exercising their horses. This is a cheaper option for you too.
Monty and Me love this I’m 15 I’ve been riding since I was 8 and I’m still trying to get a job to pay for a horse I haven’t ridden in a year and this really brought my hopes up :) thank you
Anieyah Shephard fins positions available around you and apply. I found a position at a local private school for a stable hand position. I found it on Indeed.com. I needed this because I only know western style so I’m researching English style for my interview tomorrow
I have been riding for like 10 years,I'm watching this and I wanted to see what you did,here is a tip when you want to get your saddle pad straight you can put it up on their crest of the mane and then bring it down and it should fit perfectly,well that's what I do anyways
I've been tacking up for years but just felt like watching because the well worn leather saddle in the thumbnail looked pretty. he has a really nice topline by the way.
Same but I got 5 horses it’s kinda hard people that randomly get horses and don’t take care of them that means they can’t afford horses my horses aren’t really for starter riders if you haven’t ever ridden I have my Arabian she’s a show jumper I have my thuroughbred and saddle bred they do cross country and then I have a fressian he does dressage and then my mustang she’s in training
@@angelaequestrian7465 I have a friesian too. He's my first horse, and I love him very much! I'm just really concerned about him recently, because he's had an abcess in his hoof, and has been inside his stable for the past week, because he couldn't use his left leg to the fullest. He's going to the paddock tomorrow, and I really hope he doesn't get one more. I've been visiting him tree times a day these past few weeks, giving him extra hay, putting his hoof in soap water (that was a really hard fight) and really just makring sure he's ok. I start the morning at 6 AM, my mom drives me to the stable at 7:15 AM, I get down to him in the afternoon, after school at about 3-4 PM, and after dinner at about 8 PM. I know this information was unnecessary, but I just wanted to get it off my chest.
Fre Sha Va Ca Do my first horse was my saddle bred but she’s very old she’s gonna get put down next week she’s now 24 years I forgot the year I got her but she was a very good cross country horse
This is explained nicely! I watched this to give me some “inspiration” for how to teach my lessons kids how to tack up since lemme tell ya- when you’ve been tacking up without help for years you have no idea how to explain it
jackie equestrian that's what I was thinking cause I don't want to help my sister tack up my pony cherry when I know how to tack up please do a polo or boot tutorial I know how to tack up but my mom says my sister has to ''help me '' she doesn't even know how to put the saddle pad on LOL
Am I the only one who is watching this but already knows how to tack up? 😂 ((And I cannot believe this is the first video of Claire I’ve ever watched))
thankyou for explaining everything in detail I hate it when people don't explain thankyou for explaining realy well and can you do a video of how to walk, trot, canter and gallop please that would be really helpful thankyou and I love how your beautiful horse just stands there thankyou for putting time and effort on this video THANKYOU
Beginner rider here, haven't gotten to the stage of fully tacking up my horse as yet, I don't own a horse, I ride at a school, but this video was awesome, you explain very well, your voice is clear and audible, you use simple language, you show everything that you say, you work confidently, you know your audience and you cater for different skill levels and understandings, you cater for lower level equipment and you acknowledge and are open to the use of different techniques, you should be a riding instructor, if you aren't one already, definitely earned my subscription 👍🏼
Clair, I’ve always wanted a horse ever since I was little. Every year since I was 4 on my Christmas list I would put a horse and all the horse equipment they need. I’m quite poor and we don’t own any spare land. I’ve sold a lot of my old things for money to save up for a horse. But it’s never enough. My friend has stables and I’ve asked her if we get a horse if we could store him/her there. She had not responded yet tho. If you have any tips to save up or how to train a horse please tell me. I do go riding as well 💖💕
PepperMint hello, it’s not just saving up its a lot more complicated than just saving up and getting it you need all tack proper knowledge on horses and the feeds. It’s not everything is payed for once you get it I have a horse myself and costs are very high I really recommend waiting till your older please don’t get a horse if you can’t afford it
Even if your friend let you, you'd still have to pay for food which is super expensive (around 200$-250$ a month), vet bills (up to 15,000$), insurance (300$ per year?), tack (About 1000$ to begin with) and a farrier (Say 150$ every 8 weeks.) You must be prepared. And think about the downs, like what you'll do on vacation? What if your horse gets colic? Don't just jump right into stuff..
PepperMint A horse is very expensive, yes. I never got one either and we were not poor. But I am glad now, because horses are a lot of work for a long time. Have you thought about offering horse owners to take care of their horse? Sometimes horse owners can’t ride for a while or as often as they like to. In my country, they sometimes looked for girls or boys to take care of their horses and ride them (if they were old and experienced enough). Also we used to hang out at our riding school and do free labour a lot so we could hang out with horses. Those might be alternatives that give you a chance to interact with horses outside riding lessons.
In reality, your horse should be able to be tacked up from both sides. It's just tradition to do everything from the left side. There was a person who trained her horse to lead from the right side then the left.
Yeah, Claire Eventing keep making these videos, although 90% of people watching this video might already know every thing there are still a few people who have never ridden before and watch videos like this to get ready for if they do one day, and there are other people who come across daily problems. Also just because all the comments are from experts it doesn't mean to say all the rest of the 470,000 viewers are experts.
You know I actually watched this video about a year and a half ago when I was about nine. Now, almost two years later I’m watching it again after I have my own horse, did dozens of competitions and shows, tacks up my horse a little differently, and I’m going back and watching this. Memories.
Thank you so, so much I was having difficulty getting my horse to put in his mouth piece without someone else’s help and to know how forward the saddle must be. This was the most helpful video I found (and I have watched many others). Highly recommended. ❤️
thank this really helped now i know how to tack a horse...i have my own horse its just that my parents/trainers pamper me too much so i never got to get the chance to tack my horse!but now that i told them how i feel about them tacking my horse,i can finally tack him :)
This was really useful for me, I’ve been riding for 2 years but only at a riding school so I’ve never learnt to tack up. It’s just the bridle that confuses me still (I’ve all ready had to watch this 5 times 😂)
This was the video that i actually taught me how to tack up a horse! Its so funny looking back at it now and how hard it was for me to follow 😆 I have been riding for 3 years now and i am so grateful to have my own horse on which i am following my showjumping dreams! Thank you so much Claire lyyy 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for this, I just started horse riding lessons and can never remember how to get the horse ready for riding. This was very appreciated 🥰
Loved your trick used for bridling the horse. I always found as a short guy that doing it the traditional way required more of my height than was there. Nicely done!!!
Very informative video and you are explaining it all really good and clear! However, I do disagree with a couple of things. First is I think your saddle is a little too far forwards, the girth could irritate the horses elbow and the saddle is tilted a little bit backwards. This could also be because the fit of the saddle isn't right for the horse, but I'm guessing since you're an experienced rider you probably know that the saddle fits you and your horse. The other thing is that from what I've always learned, you tighten the bridle too much. The idea isn't to force your horse to keep its mouth shut, but rather as a guideline. Anyways, cute horse and so well behaved!
i was thinking the bridle seemed a little too snug, but she seems to know her horse, and like you said, shes experienced as a rider and in tacking up that horse with that bridle. im sure she knows better than us about that specific situation
Am I the only one here who has zero experiences in horses and starting from scratch? Lol this is literally the first time I have watched anyone tack a horse. Great video!
Why do u call it horseBACK riding, in England we call it horse riding, of course you ride the horse on its back, where else would you ride it!? It’s head!? 😂😂😂😂 no hate ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I've just got back into riding after a few years of not being in the saddle. Haven't had the opportunity to tack up a horse and found this very interesting and useful.
Excellent video Claire ! Thank you very much for such an up-close and detailed video with demonstration ! Me and my daughter, who has just started learning horse riding enjoyed the video very much and we watch it again and again to learn better. Although she hasn't advanced to tacj up a horse herself yet. She is just six years old, and quite new to horse riding, but hugely loving it ! Thanks. 😊
I have been riding for eight years, but have never ridden English, very interesting! Thank you! I have only ever ridden others horses and I work on a farm (not ranch) and I have been saving up and am planning on getting my own horse soon! I enjoy your videos, and you have earned a subscriber!
if u feed them carrots, put sunflower over the carrots bedore u fedd them, ittl make he coat shinier* read in a book so dont think im a rich ass rider that has her own horse yas)
Im going off to a bachelor degree equine course, I'm going to a farm every Wednesday for experience. I'm tacking up tomorrow, your vid helped me so much. Thanks!!
i used to ride A LOT when i was younger, and always would saddle up my own horses,, but! i stopped for a long time lol, got older and lost some interest. i started back up again and forgot some things, this video REALLY helped!!
Thank you so much, I have a riding lesson tomorrow, but the thing is that it’s my very first GROUP lesson! I have FINALLY learnt how to canter all by my self, and I want to be confident in racking up tmrw! Thanks ❤️
I love this video because when I started riding I had to learn how to tack up. And this video was very helpful I watched this video about ten or more time. Thanks for making this video. 🙂
I actually really needed this because soon I’m going to a horse back riding camp, I’ve ridden there before but I was too small to tack up(I’m really short) so this was really helpful!!! Awesome video!!!
Me: *Has a horse and rides almost everyday*
Also me: Oh this video seems interesting

Clair,
I’ve always wanted a horse ever since I was little. Every year since I was 4 on my Christmas list I would put a horse and all the horse equipment they need. I’m quite poor and we don’t own any spare land. I’ve sold a lot of my old things for money to save up for a horse. But it’s never enough. My friend has stables and I’ve asked her if we get a horse if we could store him/her there. She had not responded yet tho. If you have any tips to save up or how to train a horse please tell me. I do go riding as well 💖💕
PepperMint hello, it’s not just saving up its a lot more complicated than just saving up and getting it you need all tack proper knowledge on horses and the feeds. It’s not everything is payed for once you get it I have a horse myself and costs are very high I really recommend waiting till your older please don’t get a horse if you can’t afford it
Just try really hard, work at stable or just a job. Every cent or dollar adds up! It will all be worth is in the end!
The most expensive part is feeding, vet bills, ect. after you have bought the horse not the actual price
Even if your friend let you, you'd still have to pay for food which is super expensive (around 200$-250$ a month), vet bills (up to 15,000$), insurance (300$ per year?), tack (About 1000$ to begin with) and a farrier (Say 150$ every 8 weeks.) You must be prepared. And think about the downs, like what you'll do on vacation? What if your horse gets colic? Don't just jump right into stuff..
PepperMint A horse is very expensive, yes. I never got one either and we were not poor. But I am glad now, because horses are a lot of work for a long time. Have you thought about offering horse owners to take care of their horse? Sometimes horse owners can’t ride for a while or as often as they like to. In my country, they sometimes looked for girls or boys to take care of their horses and ride them (if they were old and experienced enough). Also we used to hang out at our riding school and do free labour a lot so we could hang out with horses.

In reality, your horse should be able to be tacked up from both sides. It's just tradition to do everything from the left side. There was a person who trained her horse to lead from the right side then the left.
Jamie Hayden I didn't say my horse isn't able to be racked up from both sides, he is. I just said I always start with the left side
Just Jumping I'm saying that in general. Tons of people only train their horse from left side and never from the right.
Audrey Muller I can read, can you? I clearly said 'IN GENERAL' meaning not directly to her. To the GENERAL audience.
Jamie Hayden I actually sometimes have to tack up from the right side sometimes because of the cross ties
She explained that anyway

Who’s watching this when they know how to tack up but just wants a horse real bad😥🙋🏽♀️
Yes me but no bit and no hurt
Me
Yeah, Claire Eventing keep making these videos, although 90% of people watching this video might already know every thing there are still a few people who have never ridden before and watch videos like this to get ready for if they do one day, and there are other people who come across daily problems.
Also just because all the comments are from experts it doesn't mean to say all the rest of the 470,000 viewers are experts.
Great video for the beginner riders. I too enjoy watching others tact up their horses. thanks Darryl
You know I actually watched this video about a year and a half ago when I was about nine. Now, almost two years later I’m watching it again after I have my own horse, did dozens of competitions and shows, tacks up my horse a little differently, and I’m going back and watching this. Memories.
I need some of the horse
Thank you so, so much I was having difficulty getting my horse to put in his mouth piece without someone else’s help and to know how forward the saddle must be. This was the most helpful video I found (and I have watched many others). Highly recommended. ❤️
thank this really helped now i know how to tack a horse...i have my own horse its just that my parents/trainers pamper me too much so i never got to get the chance to tack my horse!but now that i told them how i feel about them tacking my horse,i can finally tack him :)
damn you're lucky you got people to do it for you
You are a great rider and a wonderful teacher thank you this video really helps!!
Thank you for the tutorial! I’m a western rider and this was helpful!
I love this. Thank you! I grew up with English Pleasure but after about 23 years of not riding and starting over, this was PERFECT!
So I ride western and Recently bought an English saddle and didn’t really know how to tack up English this video was very helpful thank you
This was really useful for me, I’ve been riding for 2 years but only at a riding school so I’ve never learnt to tack up. It’s just the bridle that confuses me still (I’ve all ready had to watch this 5 times 😂)
This was the video that i actually taught me how to tack up a horse! Its so funny looking back at it now and how hard it was for me to follow 😆 I have been riding for 3 years now and i am so grateful to have my own horse on which i am following my showjumping dreams! Thank you so much Claire lyyy 🥰🥰
Thank you! I've been doing this for a few years, it is the first time I have a clear clue to tack follow your video. Good job!
You should make a video on how to measure the right size saddle for you horse
I've been riding for SUPER long and I still watch these XD
Styles_Equi_ x3 and now you have been riding for another year to ad to your SUPER long time you have been riding 😊
The amount of detail and explainable instructions was the best!! SO helpful!
Thank you so much for this, I just started horse riding lessons and can never remember how to get the horse ready for riding. This was very appreciated 🥰
Great video, very educational. Btw those "girth straps" are called billets.
Very helpful! As someone who usually tacks up western, it was very informative!
Loved your trick used for bridling the horse. I always found as a short guy that doing it the traditional way required more of my height than was there. Nicely done!!!
Ive done horse riding for 2 yrs now and loooooove it! I just got into the upper intermediate!
Very informative video and you are explaining it all really good and clear!
However, I do disagree with a couple of things. First is I think your saddle is a little too far forwards, the girth could irritate the horses elbow and the saddle is tilted a little bit backwards. This could also be because the fit of the saddle isn't right for the horse, but I'm guessing since you're an experienced rider you probably know that the saddle fits you and your horse.
The other thing is that from what I've always learned, you tighten the bridle too much. The idea isn't to force your horse to keep its mouth shut, but rather as a guideline.
Anyways, cute horse and so well behaved!
I think the strap over the bit was looser than it looked because it looked like it could have tightened 1 or 2 holes if she wanted to
i was thinking the bridle seemed a little too snug, but she seems to know her horse, and like you said, shes experienced as a rider and in tacking up that horse with that bridle. im sure she knows better than us about that specific situation
the bridle was fine, it is made to stop the horse from sliding its jaw open and grabing the bit. search it up. micklem bridle use ;)
Yeah. I don’t ride much, but I did remember that when I do ride, the horse’s saddle is a bit farther back than in this video.
There is nothing wrong with this she knows her horse and what she's doing
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I am just starting riding on Monday and I’m really nervous 😬 5is helped a lot
Samee
Omg xD I saw you on another video
Am I the only one here who has zero experiences in horses and starting from scratch? Lol this is literally the first time I have watched anyone tack a horse. Great video!
Superb. Concise. Informative. No unnecessary talking. Thank you for packing so much information in a few minutes of time.
My mom might let me start English horseback riding wish me good luck that she will let me
I'm starting next week. I'm so excited
@@natalie5420 how was it? :D
Just a tip us equestrians dont call it horseback riding we call it horse riding or riding skills or pony skills or whatever but yeah
Did you like it
Why do u call it horseBACK riding, in England we call it horse riding, of course you ride the horse on its back, where else would you ride it!? It’s head!? 😂😂😂😂 no hate ❤️❤️❤️
Great tutorial! Very detailed great for beginners! 👍I definatly think you should do more videos like this!
Thank you. I've just got back into riding after a few years of not being in the saddle. Haven't had the opportunity to tack up a horse and found this very interesting and useful.
Excellent video Claire ! Thank you very much for such an up-close and detailed video with demonstration !
Me and my daughter, who has just started learning horse riding enjoyed the video very much and we watch it again and again to learn better. Although she hasn't advanced to tacj up a horse herself yet. She is just six years old, and quite new to horse riding, but hugely loving it !
Thanks. 😊
Well I was watching this video when I was tacking up my first horse for the first time and it really helped
Me as a western rider coming to this video learning that tacking up English is more different than you thought compared to western-
Ive been riding for three years and i never knew about how tight a girth should be so thank you!
I have been riding for eight years, but have never ridden English, very interesting! Thank you! I have only ever ridden others horses and I work on a farm (not ranch) and I have been saving up and am planning on getting my own horse soon! I enjoy your videos, and you have earned a subscriber!
I'm a beginner and this was super helpful!
This video was amazing! It was very informative and easy to follow! You're very pretty and I love your horses coat color! ♥
ikr her horse is gorgeous!
I’m about to buy my first horse and I’m super grateful for tutorials like this! Thank you 😊
THANK YOU. I'm riding English for the first time after riding western my whole life and this SAVED ME
Beautiful horse! And thanks for the tutorial, I'm a newer English rider. :)
How do you keep your horses so shiny I swear I groom for hours and it's like they still have dust in their coat.
PugHorse you can’t
You can give them a bath
if u feed them carrots, put sunflower over the carrots bedore u fedd them, ittl make he coat shinier* read in a book so dont think im a rich ass rider that has her own horse yas)
Im going off to a bachelor degree equine course, I'm going to a farm every Wednesday for experience. I'm tacking up tomorrow, your vid helped me so much. Thanks!!
I watch this every Saturday just before my riding lesson.
2019 anybody we miss ya rushton
Not meh
Was that a ghost horse I saw in the background 😂😂
i used to ride A LOT when i was younger, and always would saddle up my own horses,, but! i stopped for a long time lol, got older and lost some interest. i started back up again and forgot some things, this video REALLY helped!!
You’re so thorough. I am new to riding and refer to this video weekly. 👍🏼
What about trying a different riding style like barrel racing, trick riding or jumping
Your welcome for video idea 💡
Can you show how to groom a horse/pony
Thank you so much, I have a riding lesson tomorrow, but the thing is that it’s my very first GROUP lesson! I have FINALLY learnt how to canter all by my self, and I want to be confident in racking up tmrw! Thanks ❤️
You were awesome! As a beginner you not only show how but explained why. Thank you

Hmm. Been riding for 14 years and idk why I'm watching this
Same i have been riding for 10 years my whole life i have a dapple gray stallion
I love this video because when I started riding I had to learn how to tack up. And this video was very helpful I watched this video about ten or more time. Thanks for making this video. 🙂
I knew how to do this already but I just wanted to watch you Claire CUZ UR THE BEST HORSE GIRL EVER!!!!!!!
I have trouble with polo wraps. could you do a video on them
Penny Borading for life , all u do is start just before the knees than firmly wrap down to the ankle . Super easy. Hope this help
Start by or close to The knees and then wrap it by the ankles
I know how to tack up and everything😂😂😂 but great tutorial 😂😂😂
I actually really needed this because soon I’m going to a horse back riding camp, I’ve ridden there before but I was too small to tack up(I’m really short) so this was really helpful!!!
Awesome video!!!
Beginner here! I appreciate the pace and simple explanations in this video!
