Love these videos! Sometimes when your instructor shows you things they run through them rather fast and move on. They often forget what it was like to learn. How many times I’ve heard them say, “ everyone makes turning way too difficult “. That’s easy to say once you’ve got it down and don’t even think about things when you ride, but it doesn’t help when the horse isn’t following my cues and We’re not turning. Yea it’s usually me not communicating with my horse, but we’re still not turning. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Thank you for this video I love seeing all the great responses and thanks for responding back to everyone truly lack of knowledge will kill us all I love seeing people reaching out to learn more
I was always afraid that I could not get my latigo back together if I removed it for cleaning. So I never removed it. Now, with your excellent demonstration I have fear no more. Next time I will completely clean and condition the latigo. Thank you.
Thank you Heidi Lawson for the kind words! For attaching a back girth, it depends on the back billets you have on your saddle. Some loop on the saddle ring while other tie to the front of the cinch. If you have any questions about attaching the back girth, we have very knowledgable Customer Service Representative who would be glad to assist you. Please feel free to call at 1-800-620-9145 or by emailing at info@ridingwarehouse.com . ~Katie, RW
After trying out other ways that just didn't make sense or look safe, I am relieved! I just ordered the English to Western conversion kit for my big warmblood, and this will also help me finally tack up my QH correctly and safely. More videos please :)
+Dani M Wonderful! Thank you so much for your feedback. If you have any how-to video requests let me know and I will pass those along to our video gals directly. :) ~Julie
+Leila Witherspoon If you are referring to the straps in the back, there is the rear or back cinch, but you may also see this referred to as a flank cinch. That attaches to rear/back billets. Does this answer your question?
Hi, Viktoria. If you need a latigo, off billet, or other cinch/rigging accessories, you can find those on this page, beginning at about the tenth row (scroll down). www.ridingwarehouse.com/Western_Cinches/catpage-WCINCH.html Use our Live Chat feature during regular business hours for immediate response to any questions you might have. Happy riding and shopping!
Please don’t tie your latigo this way; it’s very insecure and will easily loosen. Use a saddlemaker’s latigo knot instead, which is a very secure method that will not come loose.
Well spoken and very easy to understand. I really liked the instruction about doubling the off billet! Great video.

what the back leather on the saddle called ?

how long was the off billet used in this video?
Where do I buy those?
The strap thing you used in the beginning. I need it for my saddle

Go to your local equine tack shop, this should be your cowboy go to shop.
Your latigo is tied incorrectly and will fail. Not a matter of if but when.
