On an english riding saddle, a buckle guard is a piece of leather that is used to cover the buckles of the girth, and protect the outside saddle flap from being damaged by the buckles of the girth rubbing against it.
on an English saddle, you lift up the flap where you rest your legs, unbuckle the stirrup, and move the buckle either higher or lower.

A stirrup is not a part of a horse, but rather a part of a saddle that a horse wears. Stirrup leathers are leather strips with holes punched every inch, in which a buckle fits. The stirrup leathers hold the stirrups (on a western saddle) or irons (on an English saddle) which is what the rider places his foot in. The ball of the foot is balanced into the stirrup.
How to make a saddle cinch. First take a strip of leather and cut it to size. Then you put a buckle on it. Then put some padding on to make sure it doesn't hurt your horse. Then see if it fits on the saddle. So there you go, you should have a almost perfect cinch!
The parts of a belt buckle are the prong, buckle and belt.
The buckle.
"D" Rings
For men, the buckle is on the left.
Not much. Pretty much the highest level is college. Granted, you do win a very nice saddle, buckle, and a large scholarship, there really isn't any big money in goat tying
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
