Very good instructable. I have a couple of comments. Before cinching up the the saddle make an air pocket over the withers by sticking your hand under the blanket and lift it it a little. This will keep it from pinching down on the withers and making sores. After cinching the saddle, if your horse is safe and gentle, lift the front leg by grasping it behind the knee and pull the leg forward. Do it on each side. This will straighten out any wrinkles under the girth that might make the horse uncomfortable. Its obvious that you love your horse and take good care of or her.

BOLD IS GOOD ! I AM OLD AND CANNOT SEE SO GOOD SO THANK YOU FOR THE BOLD !

I am a city boy.
My Dad taught me to ride Cavalry Style.
It has come in handy knowing how to saddle a horse and ride.
I worked a ranch in the Big Hole in Montanna and we had to move cattle from time to time.
