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.


What are the last checks to be done before mounting a horse?

If you mean do you check that the saddle is still tight on the horse, absolutely! Check your girth; ideally, it should be tight enough that you can slide your fingers under it, but you can't lift it up from the horse's side. Also check your girth if you've been riding for a while but plan to do some work that will involve galloping or tight turns. This is an extremely important thing; a loose saddle can slide off a horse and cause you to fall. I've done this and wound up with a moderate concussion and back damage. And always wear a helmet when you ride; it can save your life!Check the girth Check the stirrups And check that the horse ahs gone to the saddle
