No, the back cinch is mainly for things that would cause the back of the sadle to come up off the back of the horse. Things like calf roping, or trail riding on steep hills.

Why should you never hold the back of the saddle to mount?
You shouldn't hold the back of a saddle (called the cantle) when you mount, because sometimes, if the girth (English)/cinch (Western) isn't tight enough and the saddle can slip. Always make sure the saddle's girth/cinch is snug and safe enough to mount.

Adjust it for what? Where it sits on the back of the horse? The length of the stirrups? The cinch straps. All these things and more are important.
How do you remove your horse's saddle?
Ok, this is going to be a bit confusing, but try to bear with me... Ok, on in English saddle you are going to lift up the leather underneath the left stirrup leather. You should see 2 to 3 buckles depending on the type of saddle/cinch. All you need to do is pull up on the strap that's doing through the buckle and pull the metal bar (on the buckle) down. Do this for the second and third straps. Viola! Your done!! All you need to do now is Put the cinch on top of the saddle, grab the saddle and pad firmly in the front of the saddle, using your left hand, and the back of the saddle, using your left hand. Pull the saddle off the horses left side and Your done!! In a western saddle the process is slightly diffrent. Take the left stirrup and hook it on the horn. This will make it much easier to access the girth. You should see a long leather or cloth strap. If it looks like a tie, all you need to do is follow the strap through the center of the knot, back around the right side of the D ring, and through the left side. At this point, the strap should just be going though the D ring and the cinch. Pull the strap until its loose. Then, once the saddle is loose, grab the strap at the middle and loop it back through the D ring, go over to the other side of the horse and pull the cinch back over the top of the saddle. Then go back to the left side of the horse, and pull the saddle and pad off. If it just looks like a buckle then just un loop it from the side ring, take the strap through the D ring, then un loop it from the cinch until the metal that goes through the hole is exposed. Then as if you were tightening the saddle, pull up, pull the metal bar out of the hole and continue until loose. Sorry I hope that wasnt too confusing!! If you have anymore questions about horses, just post them no my board. Awesome_oasis

What buttons do you press to saddle a horse?
In physical reality, you cannot press any buttons nor click your mouse in order to saddle a horse. You must physically pick up the saddle, use your muscles to swing it up to the back of the horse, and use your dextrous fingers and hands to adjust the stirrups, and fasten the cinch strap. It takes a lot of learning to do this though, so you will need to go to a riding school to learn how to catch, saddle-up and ride the horse.
When you remove the horses saddle you have to.what?
When you remove the saddle from your horse, you simply loosen the cinch (or girth depending on where you live), put the off-side (left) stirrup and cinch over the saddle horn (or drape the stirrup leather over the seat if using an English saddle), and lift or slide the saddle off of your horse's back. When you've gotten the saddle off, it's a good idea to give your horse a good brushing to keep him comfortable. When you don't even know how to take the saddle off you really don't need to be riding!
