Are YOU saddling like this????

I recon practice makes perfect. I better get started. Just got a new saddle and it is heavy. Thank you for this video.

When I was 12 years old in 1955, I used to put on the saddle on the blanket by lifting and swing it above my head on a small broom tail mare. If I recall we use to put the right sturrup on horn. That little mare would go anywhere in SE New Mexico's hills with cactus and gullies. I was told if you can't saddle them, you shouldn't be riding them.

I'm 5ft.tall & female, and ride a good-sized horse. This is exactly the way my wonderful Cuban instructor taught me. I'm constantly grateful to him as well as amazed at how much work many people make this by doing it in other ways.
