No, you do not have to loosen the girth before mounting a horse.
No, You should check to make sure it is tight enough.
Uh...no you would want to tighten it so it doesn't slip while getting on...
Yes.
NO!!!!! You tighten the girth, not loosen it! The saddle could slip off the horse and horse and rider could both get seriously or even fatally injured!!!!No, If you do this the saddle can slip and the ridder will fall off when trying to mount the horse.No, but if the horse gets spooked very easily then you can make the decision if you want to. But, I have never heard of any on who does. You may want to tighten it before trotting or anything faster.no the saddle will slip under the horse and this can cause the hrse to startle you have to make sure its tight and then once you have ridden you may loosen the girth!
Girth sore or Girth Galls. these can be prevented by cleaning the horse and the girth just before tacking up.
No!!!! If you do you and the Saddle Will com efalling off try to get it as tight as you can then walk your horse around and if itbecome more lose then thighten it again so remember DONT losen the Girth!!!!

Usually the last thing to do before mounting a horse is to check the girth, in other words, always re-tighten it before mounting. The reason to do this is because horses bloat (puff out their stomachs) right after you fix the girth. So if you don't re-tighting the girth, it becomes much looser and when you try to mount, the saddle will start to slide down the side of the horse.
You don't: the saddle will slide off. On English saddles, riders readjust the girth after they've been given a leg-up and are on the horse; with Western saddles, mounting requires that the saddle can hold your weight in the stirrup as you pull yourself onto the saddle, and the girth must be cinched securely.
