How tight should the girth be done up when you first put the saddle on?
There is no known measurement for the tightness of a horses girth. All horses are different sizes and should have their girths tighted accordingly. To adjust the girth to correctly fit your horse you place the two outside Girth Straps into the buckles and tighten it until you can only fit 2 fingers between the horse and the girth. When you do this you will feel pressure. It is important to tighten the girth correctly as if it is too lose the saddle can slide forwards and backwards creating sores known as saddle sores. If the Girth is too tight you can interfere with the horses breathing as it can restrict the movement of the horses lungs. I hope this info is useful..... have fun !
How do you change the girth of a horse when someone is about to mount it?
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.
