How To Put An English Saddle On Your Horse 

you should always lift the pad up so it cups underneath the pommel. that way your horses withers will have room to move and have airflow

yess finally someone who rides saddle seat

gorgeous horse

Beautiful Horse

Yay! Saddle seat! WOOOO!

That looks like a Saddle Seat saddle!!

I would try a dressage pad and a contoured fleece or sheepskin pad......but most importantly, your horse may have Hunter's Bump, definitely have a vet check ASAP!

I always wondered what those saddles were all about..

you saddled ... YAY

Thanks!

EVERYONE CALM DOWN. let gets some knowledge in ya before you go on saying " ITS TOO LONG!!" or "WHY IS IT SO WIERD?" this is a cutback saddle. They are long than jumping or dressage saddles because of the horses head seat. Riders need to sit back more to accommodate with the high withers a saddlebred has. And the reason the saddle pad is really tiny and thin is because we don't jump! We don't need any padding because we don't flop on our horses backs! When we trot, we post nicely and land softly on the horse's back.

That's nice but you should put just a little more padding :)

And no, the "clear enough?" was not a question to be answered. it was a statement.

@alexliebchen it depends on where u live u can get saddles almost anywhere almost any tack shops have them u can go to thrifty horse if u live in California near norco and get them they have ALL saddle or any place some get custom saddles

THANK YOU.

that type of saddle is a saddle seat saddle and it is basically the right way but its ok you ge the point stop being so mean to her gezzz people

It is saddleseat and that is a saddlebred.

i am not expert but that saddle looks like it sits right on the spine of the horse.

@cocoawinni thats an english country saddle or normaly known as english saddle seat or flat saddle

"to make sure it's in place i wiggle it about a bit" - to make sure it's in place you should check the gullet/ saddle is behind the horses shoulder and the back of the saddle is not over the last rib!

(@alex liebchen. Mostly at your local tack shop or online :)

you didnt put both straps though the saddle keeper. really not trying to be rude, just helpful

what type of saddle bran is it?

what type of saddle is that ?xx

Woah ok that saddle is way to long for the saddle pad so it is going to rub the horse, you don't have any kind of half pad or sheep skin or anything under the saddle. You moved every thing forward with out lifting it so that is going to make the horses hair stand up which isn't comfortable for that horse:(

Do you own that horse??? and what is your horses name??

What kind of English saddle is that? Like where is it from it looks different??..

It looks as if your horse has what's known as "hunter's bump". This could be caused by an ill fitting saddle. The bump can clearly be seen on the horse's spine just before his rear end. You may want to have a vet check it out. It's just an observation.

Is it just me or dose this saddle not have the area ware you put the rest of the sturip leathers on the side of it???

That saddle is way to long for that saddle pad and is it ever flat!!

and the pad is not too small

What is that saddle

where is a good place to find a saddleseat showing saddle

That saddle is too long for the saddle blanket

Oh, okay. I guess you sending me a bunch of PMs because of a comment I made on a TOTALLY DIFFERENT VIDEO and then after I ask you to stop sending me PMs you find my comment on a random video and respond to it, that was where the stalking part kind of came in...

This saddle is wayyy too big for your horse.

THe horse looks unhappy even though docile. And as soon as the saddle was on the horse looks uncomfortable (tail swinging ) Beautiful horse however.

This was uploaded on my bday 5 years ago o.o and the saddle is too big for your horse :P

That's a weird saddle

that saddle pad looks awful.. if you're going to make a saddle pad please use a cut out.. it's so uneven and is way to small for that saddle.

Ok that saddle it’s a weird looking one lol

That saddle is too big for your horse

You put ur girth on wrong you put the strechy side on the left. Duhh!!!

that is a polo saddle is not an englesh saddle

that is not a english saddle !!!!!!!!!

Do not saddle your horse this way. This girl has no idea how to saddle a horse :-(

That is a weird saddle

Its funny on how all of these people are trying to tell this girl on how to put on a saddle... I saw nothing wrong, on what she was doing and most of the people saying these things probably 13 year old thinking they know everything. Just because someone doesnt do it your way does not make then wrong

1st Your stirrup leathers are all twisted 2nd NEVER** push the saddle forward 3rd your saddle pad is too short

Are you stalking me or something? Do I need to get a freaking youtube restraining order? I have been really nice up til now, but dear God, what is your problem? BLOCKED.

That is one ugly ass saddle

That saddle is ugly

Both the saddle pad and the saddle are very, very weird and I don't like it! Imm so triggered!!!!
