Plase tell you about how to saddle the horse?

Okay, first you put the saddle blanket on the horses back- put it up to where nthe horses withers are. Then you put the saddle on the horses back-make sure it is in the middle. Then pust the top part of the saddle blanket into the gullet of the saddle (under the pommel). Then you walk around the other side of the horse and check that nothing is tangled. Then go back to the other side and reach and grab the girth (the thicker one) and do it up tight. make sure you can fit a flat hand between the horse and the girth. Then you do up the surcingle- make sure it is ontop of the girth. Don't do it up to tight. Now you are saddled.
