How to groom and saddle a horse

Grab your horse! This is Sign and he is just so adorable

Gather your tack

Gather grooming supplies

Begin with a stiff brush to remove dirt

Next use a soft brush to have a nice shiny polished coat

Use a comb to brush the tail and use showsheen as needed for tangles

Do the same for the mane

Use a hoof pick to remove dirt and mud from the feet

Place the saddle pad on the horses back

Next put your saddle on and position it so that it is right behind the horses shoulder

Loop the latigo through the cinch and tighten as needed

Buckle the back cinch so that it is snug

Bring the breast collar across the horses chest and buckle it snugly but make sure that you can slide your hand around under the breast collar.

Clip the bottom breast collar strap to the d-ring on your cinch

Untie your halter and loosely tie it around your horses neck so that you can put your headstall on without him running away

Hold the top of your headstall in one hand and have the bit in your other hand and gently ease the bit into your horses mouth

Bring the top of the headstall over the horses ears and you are done!

Finally finished and ready to ride!
