How to Saddle a Horse

A Saddle is:
- something that you need in order to ride the horse.
- something you sit on and is placed on the horse's back.
- supposed to help you not fall off your horse.
- something that you should know how to place properly in order for it to be safely secured.

Be Careful! Dangerous things can happen when:
- you don't saddle the horse step by step because it can hurt the horse's back. The horse's back is important and if that part gets hurt you can't ride it until it heals.
- you don't pull the straps tightly the saddle will move around and you might fall off. It might also turn around 180 degrees while you're on it. This can cause the horse an injury.
- you don't put it on the right way you, it won't be safe. Plus, some horses will be uncomfortable depending on how the saddle is put on. This can affect how fast your horse is running and how well you stay on the horse's back.
