This is my horse Kiwi and I demonstrating how to saddle a horse for English riding. Please leave comments and video requests! 🙂 My camera cut off, so check out my other video on how to bridle.
+Martha Normand the one I used in the video is about the cheapest one that
exists. I don’t recommend using it because it pinches. Fleece ones with
Elastic on the buckles is a great way to go. You can get them for $30 if
you look in the right place.
+Jada Lindsay Nix Sorry for the late reply! I didn’t know people were
actually watching this. 🙂 I sure will. I guess I’ll just make it
blog-like. 
+Ashleigh Ahrens If the girth does not have elastic, the side doesn’t
matter. If it does, but the elastic side on the left first, on the first
(loosest) hole. Then buckle the none elastic side on the right as far as
you can (Slowly and gently). Then you will have lots on room on the left
(elastic) side to tighten if they puffed out before you mount.
Apparently it doesn’t really matter unless there’s an elastic, and then the
elastic goes on the.. left? Or maybe the right. I think you start on the
left and tighten it on the right so the elastic goes on the right. I don’t
know aha, but yea both sides, thanks aha (:
It was actually a gift from a friend at my barn. He decided he was a
western type of guy and didn’t need an english saddle anymore, so I have no
idea! 🙂

@Nqe32 no their not they are to protect the hoof if the pony is actively in
work like my pony

You only checked one side of your saddle pad! It wasnt even on both sides
Martha Normand

I love you girth straps. Where did you get you saddle
livetolove2010
with elastic on one side the elastic goes on the left, if it is on both it
doesnt matter
Ashleigh Ahrens
How do you tell which way to put on the girth? And when tightening it do
you tighten both sides or just one?
Equestriangirlll8
Kiwi looks so soft!

Haha, oops! I am more thorough when I am actually riding, but I was just
tacking up for the video. 🙂
