OMG! This totally didn't cover the things beginners totally mess up on. Where to place the saddle and how to actually put the girth on.

you could put your hand on the horse instead of walking all the way around it and totally wasting like 30 seconds

rather mount the horse from steps or a block - that way you don't harm its vertebrae! horsees like that. plus you don't need to tighten the girth too much to begin with. walk the horse a few minutes so it can deflate, then regirth. maybe even repeat this, or have a little trot (not with a very loose girth though). then check again and maybe thighten an other time. that way you'll never get problems with saddleing b/c horses won't get any negative experience from saddle and girth.

hey, any body lookin 4 a saddle to buy??? well, dnt make the wrong choice...get a wintec, u can use it 4 show, pleasure, or trail, and if u evr get it dirty, u can just spray it off with water!!! and they r soooo durrable, but if u wannt to go with leather, buy a Henri De` Revel!!! they r soooo nice and they r low priced!!! i hav both saddles and i support those companies 100%!!!! dnt make the wrong choice!!! but, if u want a expincive top name brand saddle get a pessoa,but its just namebrand!!!

Gee... thanks for that video. I learned to tighten the girth before riding. Since that is basically all you need to know about saddling, right?
