When you tack up, its mostly the same as if you were tacking up your horse any day. Start by grooming, then the saddle pad, then the saddle or show saddle. then, put on the bridle or show bridle, and then your all set. To mount, put your left leg in the sturrup, face the rear end of your horse, and carefully swing your right leg over his hind quarters, and sit deep in the saddle. pick up your reins, sit up, heels down, and enjoy the ride!
