Thank you for the invite. Would love to join but I do not own a credit card. Just my bank account and horse.

This was a great beginners lesson although I've known some people who should know better who still drag their saddle sideways. Thanks for posting this. I am a firm believer in showing consideration for the horse. If someone doesn't care about that then they might do it correctly in order to get the cooperation of their horse which directly benefits them.

[@leealexander3507]

I would love to join you but I'm both elderly and disabled and on a small fixed income. I've downsized my life to the bare bones in order to be able to keep the black stallion. He is almost certainly the last horse I'll ever share life with and the last one I'll ever start which was easily done due to over 6 decades of experience.

I'm 65 now but was a very patient trainer with my Q/Horses back in the day , and taking things slow and keeping your horse calm and creating a good bond with them is so much more fun with a lot better results .I bought a beautiful q/h mare once that could'nt be caught once out in the paddock , after about 2 hours I had her come running to a whistle , standing to be geared up then standing so I could take the gear off , it was so much fun working with her . I also had a back injury so for about 6 weeks I couldnt ride I taught her to give kisses and shake hands & bow LOL , Why ? because I wanted to see if I could hahaha . Oh to have my youth back again would be so good , old age sucks . Love your video's Ryan .

[@sidilicious11]

Are you still riding? I’m 68 and training a horse to be my next riding horse, a solid black Paint gelding. He’s been a handful, my most challenging horse so far. I’ve gotten so many great tips from talented KZbin trainers like Ryan just when I needed them. Wish me luck!🍀

[@sidhetaerie]

@@sidilicious11 I'm still riding and I am 72. It gets harder. Enjoy your youth! :-)

[@AwkwardMotovlogger]

I'm the idiot who was a green rider who bought a green horse and your videos have been invaluable to me. Knowledge is definitely power. I binge watch all of your videos and have started working with a trainer. Thank you so much for spending your time helping horses by helping us. It takes so much time to film and edit and you are appreciated!!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thanks! Glad your enjoying them. There’s more on my patreon page www.patreon.com/Ryan rosehorsemanship if your interested

[@carolynstewart8465]

You've lived to tell! Horses are great teachers.

[@JDCarterMusic]

I immediately went out and changed the way my cinches are kept! Thanks Ryan!

[@katrinebroendsted]

Great video. I’ve seen a few videos where the person throws the saddle on the horse the nice and smooth way you are. I would love to be able to do it too, but being a small woman it seems impossible. Could you please make a video in which you teach a woman to do it. 😅 Thanks in advance. Katrine

[@patlowe4578]

I am a small woman also and would love to be able to put the saddle on the way you do but cannot reach...could you do a video for short people.

[@crystalstorms880]

Wow. I have been working with horses for about bvb 7 years now. And i never stopped to think about everything you brought up in this. THANK YOU. I appreciate your time and teaching

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thanks!

[@user-ux3tr3nu3h]

Thank you Ryan, I have only been around horses for a couple of years. The farm where my friend boards her horse, the stable owner looked all over for a first horse for me. She found a 30 year old mare, not knowing she was on her death bed. In 8 months I have nursed back to health with help. Had her since January and she will be ready to ride around the barn this winter. Your videos have been invaluable. Thank you!

[@martinmurray7808]

This was great, thanks. One thing I don't see happen too often in saddling up videos: I like to pull each foreleg forward to stretch a little after cinching to relieve and release the skin that got pulled sideways under the cinch as it was tightened. I like your presentation very much, you keep things moving and all the explanation is very clear, great. thanks!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Yea, your right that’s good thing to do.

[@Dannydumal]

@@ryanrosehorsemanship thank you for the videos you post. i have suscribed

[@ratfan03]

I have used the packers knot for years. I have heard it called the Nevada knot. I really like it because I'm short and have a hard time mounting from the ground. I can very easily tighten my cinch without dismounting. Best way to fasten the latigo. Always stays in place. Thank you for spreading the word. Great video.

[@ratfan03]

Love the Packers knot. I'm the only person I know who uses this knot. Why I like it so much is, I can easily tighten the girth without dismounting. Saves time and energy and isn't bulky like the Texas T knot.

[@kopperlanimalrescue3046]

Very helpful we have a 16 yr old who likes to walk in circles when we try to cinch him, we were also putting saddle on wrong. I am new to horses. Thank you for all your help. Going to try it tomorrow and over the next couple weeks. Thanks again.

[@goatwoman17]

This is a great video, we just got a horse who gets unconfident when saddled. So I will be showing him this way! Looks like we need to start with ground tying.

[@pjharrison6394]

I have learned so much from watching Ryan's videos and am very grateful. I have been doing so many things wrong in saddling, this was a huge help. Thank you!

This young man is absolutely fantastic! Many thanks 🙏

O My, such a gorgeous beautiful horse

[@siggiepelz470]

What a beautiful horse

[@OMGWUNSIU]

Very well done! Such a pleasure to watch your videos and I don’t even have a horse I just enjoy learning things

[@krystaldaniels7940]

He looks like my new spotted saddle mare but she has one crystal blue eye! I got her from a lady who couldn't control her (she spoiled this horse pretty bad). She is the most loving, in your pocket mare I've ever known but she has zero respect for women. I decided to totally restart her. I know she can be an amazing horse with some training, she has the smoothest gaits. Im determined to make her my main ride💖

[@christopherscherz1986]

I think the saddling technique is more of a short person solution to a problem. Being 6'5" i don't struggle to often getting a saddle on a horse, lol. But I like your tying and buckling techniques. Never thought of them before.

[@krystaldaniels7940]

I do bring my stirrup up on the horn when I swing my saddle up but I swing it almost the same way but I use my hip and thigh to push it upwards while swinging it over the horse (if that makes sense). I'm farely small so it helps to give that little extra push!😊

[@andeeleininger5968]

Same here!

[@lorischmidt2188]

Hi Ryan. I went further with this saddling training. While I am on the offside, I ask my horse to move his feet to move his body so I am on the left side. Saves steps for me. Also incorporate this for unsaddling. My horse gets a lot of responsibility to be my partner.

[@diggingmary129]

Wow I’ve been saddling wrong for years!! 😮 New Subscriber, learned so much in this video ❤

[@maureenawty6629]

What beautiful relaxed horse 😊👍

[@TheBRR2011]

Very nice video. A few little adjustments from Parelli. Love it.

[@redshorse]

Informative and well presented. Excellent.

[@metalkingtohorses]

I'm sharing this on my channel, I ride dressage but I liked the slide the saddle off the back, was so much nicer on my temperamental sweet mare

[@ltrocha]

Viewers, notice how low this horse's hocks are... and how short his cannon bones are in relation to the upper part of his legs... plus the angle of his hocks. It's ideal. This trainer obviously understands good conformation.

[@michellekoonce3191]

Enjoyed your info. Thanks for the tips. Happy Trails

[@lynnettejalufka2682]

Thank you for the tips. I have two questions: how far back should the saddle sit on the horse, and how far should the cinch be from the elbow?

[@seguridadevertson1585]

Nice vídeo , regards from Venezuela , take care and be safe

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Gracias para sus comentarios!

[@shelm-b8p]

Thanks I am an English rider who is now riding western horses.

[@yeahok2790]

Tips for saddling for a short person. I’m 5 ft and horse is 14.2 I try to saddle like you’ve shown but I don’t clear her back.

[@ratfan03]

I too find it difficult, I have founded standing with my back to the horse and really getting the saddle swinging left to right pretty hard first. It usually helps me get it high enough to clear the back. I practiced on a fence a few times.

[@victorialree]

You said you had a video on ground tie - you tube search is not showing it - would you have a link?

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

I can’t find it either, I think it must have been a Facebook video. I’ll get one made. Thanks

[@MH3GL]

8:27 He was definitely posing an "objection" when you tightened up that back cinch... 😂

[@juliejennings7459]

This was a really great video, thanks. My question is how do I know what saddle size for my 13hh mare, with a long back?

[@timclark5806]

I did not see a video specifically for ground tying, is it hidden in another video?

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

No your right. I had it on Facebook. I’ll make another one for KZbin soon. Thanks

[@heather1589]

I love the idea of swinging the saddle onto your horse. However my horse is much taller than me so do you suggest using a stool?

[@TheMamaAmmah]

Can you please give me the link to your ground tie video? I can’t find it. Thank you very much

[@Blinks46]

What saddle pad do you use in this video. Thank you great video

[@tamiboelter5491]

I agree Ryan, but my problem is that I am short with a 15 hand QH. I'll have to practice the swing and build those muscles. I am 57 and flabby🙃

[@annhepworth8140]

Good video! And may I just say - that halter fits him perfectly! :D

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

😀💯

[@meripederson8379]

We always tied them up so we could brush them out first and then saddle them.

[@karenbultman6995]

I’m short and struggle with swinging the saddle up and over. How can I get enough momentum to swing it up and over?

[@frandanco6289]

Perhaps, practice a Lot, and that will make your body stronger, and then it will be easier to lift and swing that saddle over....

[@1huntswithnature10]

Excellent

[@trueheartfarm8831]

LoL,never seen a saddle put on backwards before....😂😂😂 But I ve definitely seen a halter put on upside down.(thought &chin up)....guy was lucky the horse he haltered was bomb poof !!!!

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

And how do I rein them to go a certain direction if they keep going the other direction? I FORGOT EVERYTHING. And I tried to ride a horse at my friend's house, and she was stubborn as a mule but I had never ridden her before. She was like my friend's other horse 🐎 but a lot more attitude. I kept trying to kick her to the left by pulling the left rein and kicking with my right foot but she just kept turning her head. Then I couldn't get her to move at all. I know it's my fault. I forgot how to rein. I got her to go a couple times but that was it. I was kicking as hard as I could. What am I doing wrong?

[@margaretporkolab7166]

What happens you are short and you have to heave the saddle up unto the horse and it bangs or bumps the horse. What can I do. I'm 4 ft and horse is 15.

[@Rowdymotmot]

I understand what you mean as I am short too. I think I would get someone to build you a platform that would raise you up about a foot. My horse is the same height as yours but I am 5'3" and can put his saddle on without clunking things on him as was shown in this video. A cheap way to make a platform would be to use some pallets. The platform would also make it easier to mount your horse as well.

[@margaretporkolab7166]

@@Rowdymotmot thank you never thought of a pallet.

[@joldidjeridoos6026]

Only took once to be mindful of sweat patterns and an unnoticed crease in the blanket. I had to carry the saddle around the property the rest of the day.

[@joelheffelfinger2253]

Do you use a get down rope with your bridal or a Makate? I do something like this.

[@valeriebarker5996]

Ok so my mustang has absolutely had no issues being saddled and bridled for 3 years now. He is now 16.3 and he is jumping away pulling back and rearing when it comes to saddling him, very frustrating as saddle fits well. No pain involved he raises his head to the stars, I have to get in the back of the truck or on a stool to bridle and saddle, becoming quite an issue, have started back at square one. He handled being saddled and bridling without any issues when first brought home from the wild and gentling him. Never flinched. Never moved as a 3 yr old, now at 7 it's becoming a struggle and very hard to get the saddle on. Help

[@tamiboelter5491]

nylon or leather billet/ latigo? Preferences?

[@ericalenz7632]

I bought a horse that does not stand still to be saddled, how do you teach them to stand still?

[@richardharrold4357]

thanks partner

[@tammythomas9585]

I have a horse that blows up when tied to be saddled. He's great other than that how do I break that?

[@terry1965]

How much does a good saddle weigh

[@aestheticallyamy7767]

When I tack up my horse I don’t do my singe up like that I was told to do it a diff way😅

[@Baiswith]

Hmm, is this specific to the type of saddle?

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Kinda, this is how I would rig a western saddle. Thanks

[@brendagrupe5781]

Question: Could a shorter person with a taller horse, (me) put the left stirrup on the horn before swinging it over? I think I would end up smacking her in butt. Great idea on folding up the straps, keeps it tidy and avoids those straps being dragged. Thank you,

[@lianerollin9086]

What king of saddle pad do you have?

[@mommabearx11]

My left arm is not as strong as it should be so I'm limited how I lift the saddle.

[@jordanwhite5470]

Holes average about 2" apart, so that's a big difference in cinching amount. No hate here, but tying WILL provide more precision and comfort for your horse.

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

Now how do I bridle a horse without them biting me?

[@ChildofGod943]

Thank you, thank you! My horse will bite me on the leg.

Bro he is lucky I'm horse would run from me if I let her go if I could catch her and when I put the saddle on she puffs out so the saddle Is loose when I ride and I can't ride her without my boy horse
