You should’nt just …
You should’nt just throw the saddle on the horse. It can spook the horse. Also, it is not so good to just tie the latigo, because that can easily come undone. But good job on the rest…sorry if I am being a tad bossy.

You shouldn’t plop …
You shouldn’t plop the saddle down on the horse, as it startles the horse.
You have to gently lay the saddle on the back slowly. Otherwise, your horse won’t enjoy being saddled up for the ride.

cont.. Also there …
cont.. Also there is usually holes in the latigo and you can use those instead of making a knot because in my experience of many miles and hours in the saddle it slips with a knot. I also think you should walk around and carefully let the stirrup down so it does not hit the horse in the side and “hurt” them or scare them. Just some common curtosy for your horse.

This is an ok video …
This is an ok video..however i do notice that there is a farely large gap in between the horses withers and the pad. The pad is also almost touching the tree of tree of the saddle. Also i think you need to address more on the cinch, ie. making sure the two rings and the middle of the cinch is in theh middle of the horse by adjust the other side of the cinch not just the latigo side.

Shouldn’t she …
Shouldn’t she metion checking the girth making sure it’s not too loose or tight? You don’t want your saddle to slip or put a ton of pressure, either way you will have terrible control of your horse. I myself have suffered the consequences of loose girths and have seen many accidents due to too tight girths.

first of all your …
first of all your supposed to use a blanket then the pad then the saddle and your not supposed to tighten the cinch all at one time your supposed to do it 3 times 1.wrap it around 2-3 times then walk away and put the bit in then tighten it agian then put the breast coller on then tighten it one last time then thats about it well thats just how my rideing teacher does it and you dont really need to take the halter off or tie him up with 2 ropes just tie him on a fence useing the quick relese knot

Some horses need more control, so you would use a bit to get that control.
