Plase tell you about how to saddle the horse?
Okay, first you put the saddle blanket on the horses back- put it up to where nthe horses withers are. Then you put the saddle on the horses back-make sure it is in the middle. Then pust the top part of the saddle blanket into the gullet of the saddle (under the pommel). Then you walk around the other side of the horse and check that nothing is tangled. Then go back to the other side and reach and grab the girth (the thicker one) and do it up tight. make sure you can fit a flat hand between the horse and the girth. Then you do up the surcingle- make sure it is ontop of the girth. Don't do it up to tight. Now you are saddled.

After placing the saddle on the horse what must you do and why?
first this is for a western saddle, you must go around to the other side and unhook the girth. then you hook the girth to the saddle. then you hop on and ride for 5 or more minutes. then you hop off and tighten the girth again.(the horse most likely blotted while tighting the girth the first time.) then ride all you like! :)
Girth of a box?
The Girth Formula for a box is this: 2x (width + height)..... for example if a box's length measures 30" along each side, the width being the measurement of the smaller adjacent side is 30" as well, and the distance from top to bottom of the box would be the height.... let's say it's 12". So the Girth would equal= 2x (30+12)=84" so basically a 30"+ 30"X 12" box has a girth of 84" Hope that helps!

How tight should you tighten a girth with a medium tree dressage saddle?
The "tree" size has nothing to do with how tight to girth your saddle - what's more important, is "how" you tighten the girth. After you have groomed your horse, placed the saddle pad and saddle on your horse, you are now ready to attach the girth. It is recommend to use a girth that has elastic on both ends of the girth, this allows for ease of girthing and allows expansion of the horses ribcage during riding. Attach the girth on the right side of the saddle first and then reach under the horse and bring the girth up to the left side and tighten the girth only enough to keep the saddle on while the horse is standing. Bridle your horse and hand walk your horse for a few minutes, be sure to circle in both directions (left and right), stop your horse and tighten the girth snug enough that this saddle will stay in place when you mount. Ride at a walk for 5 or 10 minutes, stop and recheck your girth and tighten the girth again as needed to be snug enough to stay in place. If at any time during your ride, you feel the saddle shift, you will need to re-tighten the girth. It's important that the girth is tight enough to keep the saddle in place, but not so tight the horse is uncomfortable. Check to see that you are placing equal weight in each stirrup while riding.
