first you should make sure that your gelding is calm enough to lounge , after lounging is covered and he listens to you correctly the second step can be quite hard,getting a saddle on.Its good to train a horse at a young age, i would have started all this when the horse was about 2 but no need to worry .Lounge him around with a saddle on ,it will get him use to the feeling of a saddle .make sure when u get on him,it is in a small secure { fenced] area with people around you to help out, as all people would say,start of slow!! and very steady ,don't start trotting at all until he really gets use to you,this will take time.
the thing a horse wears under the saddle is called a saddle pad ! (:
I find that a navy blue or baby blue look quite nice on a dun colored horse. To some people a 'saddle cloth' is a saddle pad or saddle blanket. It is worn under the saddle on top of the horse's back.
Chaucer called the Pardoner a gelding or a mare. This is odd because he was not under grown in any way.

It is called a saddle, and is buckled on under the horse's midriff.
Yes you can if the horse is used to the saddle and a rider. No matter what the previous dicipline of the horse with some exceptions ex. broodmare with a bad back or a mean un-trainable stallion used for breeding you can train a horse to do what you want with it. training a Trotting horse to ride under saddle if not previously trained for the dicipline would be the same as training a green broke horse that has never been ridden under saddle.
There is the girth, which buckles under the saddle skirt from under the horse's belly; the stirrup leathers, which attach the stirrup irons to the saddle; and there is the martingale, which stops the horse's neck from tossing.
It should be under the saddle.
