Great tips! I also like to walk my horse around a little so he can let a little air out .You’ll usually find that “SECOND” time you tighten the cinch is quite a bit and it prevents you’re saddle from sliding as you try and mount.”Happy Trails”.Evan.

Let’s not forget that if the saddle doesn’t fit your horse, you CAN’T do it correctly. Too many people have horses that “misbehave” because they’re in pain – how else can a horse tell you, “hey buddy, this is pinching me” ?
