Saddling Horses Part 2 - Cinches, Back Cinches and Breast Collars 

I dont even have horses, I just like to listen to that guy explaining stuff

64 years old and I still learning every time I watch you! Thanks

Don't own a farm, never rode a horse, yet here i am taking notes just in case i need to saddle up one day.

Great video, as a saddle maker and a horseman for 50yrs, you explained that perfectly, thanks to you both

I’m 23 and about to graduate college in arkansas from texas. I plan on buying some land some day and starting a family and having a little ranch of my own. I will say as a young man and Christian I really appreciate all your wisdom and hope to live by the same respect. Thanks for what you do.

I got a feeling I'll be returning to these videos years in the future. It doesn't mean anything to me now, but I plan on living many lives.

Congratulations on one million subscribers. Love all your videos.

"Biscuit's just kinda perverse. That's just the way he is." Me too, Biscuit. Me too 😅

I LOVE these educational videos. I hate wasting time watching videos unless I come away feeling like I really learned something useful. Thank you Dewayne and momma!

I've ridden nearly as many miles while using a neoprene cinch and have also never sored a horse. I do like wool saddle pads. Also, I pick the hooves before every ride.

Absolutely top notch information! Little late getting to watch this one. You make the videos as long as you want folks! Thank you!

Appreciate this follow-up video and thanks for answering our questions! Dewayne, love how your tack appears butter soft and flexible. Good leather and good care. Momma does an amazing job with the camera with her ability to anticipate your moves and zero in. (Without making me dizzy😅) What a great team you are.

I’m 16 and I’m starting to ride my horse more often and this helped a lot

I was so blessed growing up to learn from one of the best horsemen to have ever lived. And even momentsI spent I was literally in heaven. I grew up bought my own horses, and saddles, learned for myself which saddles were quality, which saddles were junk. A lifetime of reading and learning I have never regretted

Dewayne, thank you for another good horse maintenance lesson.

Horse is having a nice snooze. Cute.

I love Biscuit's personality. He's ready for cigar time, where he is turned loose!

Excellent content on cinches/mohair/breast collar management. Your sweetie has spot-on timing with the zoom to get message across and really adds to the content.

What's the old saying you never stop learning!! Ive been around horse's and cattle in my 70 years but I learned a little more from this video!! Thank you Sir God bless!!🙏🙏

This is my new favorite channel ❤

I don’t have horses, in fact I used to be scared of them lol, but I love learning new things and Dewayne is one of the best teachers I know!

I have been wrangling for dude strings for more than a decade now, and still would love to spend a week with these folks.

I absolutely love to learn from these videos. Thank you

Happy 1 million subscribers! 🎉

One of the best channels here on RU-vid. Thanks for all your great content.

🇺🇲🇵🇷🇲🇽😎 Thank you for going back to the basics, I've been with you since you only had a 1000 subscribers. I started because of the horses and the Saddles and the wrangling, But I'm even happier now that you do all the philosophy. I will keep down people about you until you have 2 million.❤

congrats on one million subs

One thing that you did not address is cinch length and where the cinch D rings should land height wise compared to the horses elbow and barrel. Everything else I agree with. Especially the non neoprene deal. I just can't bring myself to put rubber on a horse. Also agree with the no gel pads. If you have a good saddle you don't need gel pads. Just remembered another thing you didn't address is pad thicknesses, doubling up on pads, pad liners, navajo blankets etc..

Pleasure to see you sir!

I enjoy your channel! I have always loved horses. Never owned one but went to a few week long day camps as a young teen where were learned how to groom a horse, put on the bridle, put on the saddle, and enjoy the ride. This brings back treasured memories.

You always start with the main cinch, then the back cinch(if used), then the breast collar. Then when you are done you start with the breast collar, the back cinch and lastly the main cinch

I really wish everyone went through this video before they put a saddle on their horse. This is very sound advice from someone who knows what they're talking about. It's good for the rider and the horse. It covers comfort, safety and functionality. Amazing.

Dewayne, we agree on just about all the saddling tips. My main difference is that I like to saddle mine from the "Indian" side. I always have. My horse is used to it by now, and I occasionally saddle from the near side, just to keep him honest, but my main reason for the Indian side is that there's just so much less stuff to swing over the horse. Just lazy on my part, I guess, but it works for me. Great video, though. You going to do one on bridling your horse next? You could include how to put on a cowboy rope halter and how to tie it, because I sure see a lot of folks that have trouble with that.

Need to give biscuit extra love. 🥰 he makes a good model 😅

Mamma is absolutely right, concerning the center tug strap. Seeing folks riding that one loose, is as big a pet peeve as a loose trail cinch. Also, especially with Green horses, i suggest reaching for that trail cinch, standing rear facing, at the shoulder and reaching with the left hand.

I might add not all horses like wool pads. My neighbor has a mare that if you put a wool pad on her she tries to move her skin, hump her back, wiggle around until she is untacked and the wool pad is replaced with something different. He said she has always been that way.

☕️☕️😎 Good Morning. Safe travels

"I read in a book somewhere! That's a bad thing! 😂 good one.. Just letting you know I listen.. intently

I love tacking up, so much fun 😁

Biscuit is pissed. One video was enough.

Awesome video guys!

Really detailed, clear explanation. Love watching your horse videos.

Really helpful and informative, loved it!

So helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for the follow up! Answered my questions ❤️

What a good horsey ! Thank you 🙏🏼 Sir

Great video as always! Lots of great tips in here. I always look forward to the horse videos.

A million subs.... congratulations my friend.

Thank you for explaining the basics 😊. Congratulations on one million. Listening to your videos/podcasts is always the highlight of my day.

LOVE YOU TWO. GOD BLESS, STAY SAFE.

That last shot with the landscape and the sky is so beautiful. I haven’t rode in years and Dewayne, you are lighting the fire again. Thank you sir for all your guidance.

Good stuff Dewayne! Thank you!

I love the little outro. (:

Amazing to learn there is a purpose for every little strap and hook etc....all to benefit the horse. Your love for the horse is very evident and so good of you to educate others on the proper use of tack!

Hi Dewayne and Momma...glad I recently found your channel. I've had horse in me since I can remember. I'm 60 years old now and finally started living my horse dream 10 years ago. So happy and blessed. Started out in the English world and quicjly went Western. On my 2nd horse as the first wasn't a good fit. Oso and I do well, he's a good level headed gelding and have had him since he was 3. Thanks for the saddling tips...I learned a couple of things that will help. God Bless you and your family and I hope to get out to your school with my husband in 2025.

Well done!

I just wanna tell you thank you, I been through a real tough patch and I will tell you now that you have fixed about 90% of it. I owe you the world and please never stop doing what you’re doing!

GREAT video!

Congratulations on 1 million 👏🏻 keep up the great work, you’re changing lives for the better! 💯

I learned some new things so thank you! I like the idea of not having a big knot by my knee.

Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge Dewayne, I'm using all your horsemanship videos to learn and prepare myself as best I can until I hopefully get to visit your school next year.

I learned a few things and that's awesome.

Thanks for some good instructions. Take care.

This is Epic !! I can only imagine getting to ride and how to execute things.

Educational. Thank you.

Appreciate the video

Y'all are Awesome😊 thankyou Theripy for me, i am scared of them critters..and they know it.....learned Alot today and last video. Thankyou for sharing your gift of wisdom from experience.

Great video !

Very good, I did not know that stuff. Lookin Good 🤠😉

I really like the look of the brass flashing on those stirrups. Functional too i'd imagine in rugged country.

Excellent information. I’ve been riding for years and I agree 100%! Absolutely a thinking person’s craft or you could find yourself pushing up daises.

Youngman you & moma do a fine job , and two 👍👍 up for the Horse 😅 wonder if he/she thought , Now when is this man going to finish saddling me up😂 ! So hope there was a Treat in there for the horse and Mama !! Take care youngman

Thanks Dewayne!

Thank you, you have answered all my questions from the first one, like how to tie up the latigo when not in use and how to tie the cynch to keep from dragging or laying over seat! Yes sadly i used the neopreme ones, but will be changing them asap especially after how you explained it 😳😳. But live and learn, i will take what i learned and make adjustments, I do truely thank you so much for you wisdom and knowledge its a breath of fresh air! Its what i have been searching for, just simple logic and truth! May God bless you and Mrs!

Thanks for this part 2, My horse is going to be a working horse not so much pleasure riding. I was pretty sure how I wanted (needed) my rig set up as there is very little flat county and a lot more mountainous terrain. I also may need to do a little bit of roping but not really any cutting. I didn't want to be throwing stuff on my horse that I didn't really need. It seams like from my land I probably should be running the back cinche as well as the breast collar. At least if I'm doing any riding work over were the cow pasture is as I prepensely left the flattest pastures for the horse barn and paddock. It's almost hard to believe just how much of this Horsemanship I can't remember or didn't even know riding as a kid and young teen but now I get to retire to my very on small ranch ( and learn it all over again)lol. Thanks for all the time you put into these video's. Even when you go over something I do remember it always nice getting that conformation.

I don’t have horses but I know how to saddle one now lol beautiful place

I admit that these are all great points. Dwayne, we must have had teachers cut from the same cloth. I snicker every time you mention things “gone western”. Anyone who’s dealt with horses in a variety of conditions and situations knows that at some point, any day, any scenario that things may go “western”. 😊 Experience teaches it but experience also teaches that you as the rider, your horses compadre, you do all you can to think ahead, outside yourself and take care of your horse. At the end of the day you return to the barn safe, unscathed and both of you better for it. Not to mention all those around you.

Cinchya standin there show me how to saddle a horse haha. Thanks Dwayne.

All good....great camera work

Also, the sky is beautiful for this video.

Thank ya so much ❤

I would love to jump into my van and go to your ranch and learn all this first hand and help out around the ranch. Would be a dream.

I talk about your channel to everyone😂 ❤️

"Billet" I thank you for your time and energy

Hard jerking big cattle or a high withers/thinner horse I do have a nice wool pad with get wither pads, other than that it’s a 1” wool pad for me. Mohair all the way!!

Evening Dewayne, I’m looking into turning one of my old buildings into a tack room so I can get my tack away from the barn dust. Would you do a Tack Room tour. Love your guys content and thanks for all the lessons. Ethan from Star Tannery, Va

After you were done talking, he looked right at mama to collect. 😅

Driving "green" 🐎 does have autopilot but it's a skill set foreign to so many in this modern world, many who watch this will be grateful for this knowledge someday leisurely or otherwise... And I love how you've been proclaiming Christ Jesus despite the obvious intentions of those whom harp on it, I find your approach refreshing when it comes to engaging those issues meant to trip ya up, and you just keep gaining traction and riding high in the Saddle God Bless Sir.

On the buckle, there's a ol' ranch in Cedarville CA that don't use the back cinch while the main cinch has a breakaway fold in the cinch to bale off! 😂

Boy Did i learn something in this video.

@drycreekwranglerschool This is great information. How about adding another video to this series about how to choose a good saddle & good places to buy them? Reputable brands? Do you need to spend $6,000+ or are there good saddles out there for less than that? What to look for in a saddle? Saddle maintenance? Do they last forever… when might a saddle need to be replaced? Etc. Thanks!

😆, it's foul weather here, hence the comments! At 66 I'm buying the best of the best supporting the folks who hand make the goods.. Mike Strong Leather, Lane Creek Hatters, Put a lid on it, and Teresa in Oklahoma who makes the best pads! Why? Because I can finally have what i didn't have as a kid.. much love from McDermitt Oregon

The Best thing about this! It's straight from the cowboys mouth! Heck yeah

Biscuit is on the verge of snoozing through the whole video.

You will be a movie star one day....watch out

I always separate the saddle from pad, it stays wet and rots the fleece and leather, I’m in a very high humidity area though.

Dwayne - one tiny suggestion I picked up from another RU-vid channel was to reverse how you buckle girths for storage. If you flip it and put keeper through in other direction the tab takes a downward bend instead of up. Means that tab lays flatter when it’s not in use when you ride. If this was intelligible enough to understand - is there a problem I’m not seeing with this approach? PS: love how you tie up latigo when removing saddle. I’m one of those who’ve struggled with long straight strap, trying to make sure it’s not twisted as horse fusses and moves off. Just one more distraction from keeping myself safe next to 1200 lb animal with metal clad feet.

Efendim emeğine sağlık paylaşım için teşekkürler arkadaşlar

☕️☕️😎 Good Morning.

Great information! What western saddle would you recommend for all around use? Thank you
