100% wool blankets keep horses dryer and cooler than synthetic fibers and neoprene lined blankets and pads. Wool "breathes", and it also has superior wicking abilities to wick the sweat off a horse's back. It also provides superior cushioning to protect the horses back from shock and abrasion.

Which seasons should your horse need a blanket fallspringwinteror summer?
If you blanket a horse at the beginning of Autumn then it has to stay on until warmer weather comes around again as the blanket prevents the horse from growing it's winter coat. Without the the natural hair coat or the blanket the horse could become susceptible to influenza. You can also blanket a horse with a thin blanket in the summer. This keeps the flies away and prevents the horses coat bleaching in the sun.
Strap attached to an English saddle?
The main strap on an English style saddle is called the girth. This is what keeps the saddle on the horse. But there are other types of straps also. There is what is called a 'breastcollar', which keeps the saddle from sliding back too far on the back. There is a 'crupper' which works the other way and keeps the saddle from moving too far forward. There are different kinds of martingales, standing or running, which are usually for training purposes but should only be used if you know what you are doing. This combines the breastcollar with the horse's bridle or bit. These are the most common types of straps but certainly not all available to equine enthusiests.
What is the purpose of a blanket?

Why do you need equipment to ride a horse?
The fact of the matter is that you do not need equipment to ride a horse. However, using equipment is safer and more secure (especially for guys). I say especially for guys, because I have ridden bare back (without a saddle) once and my privates were absolutely pummeled. The reins are for steering the horse, but you can use your heels by applying pressure to the opposite side of the horse depending on the direction you wish to go in. The stirrups are for placing your feet in. This takes pressure off of your quad muscles and your pelvis. The saddle (as I have already mentioned) provides a cushion for your arse and your privates. The girth keeps the saddle on, and therefore, keeps you on the horse. The grass reins stop the horse from jerking their head forwards and stops you from somersaulting over the front of its head (I have had this done to me before).
What is the best way for cowboy to carry the saddle?
The best way for a cowboy to carry a saddle is to place it on the saddle horn of their horse or to carry it on their shoulder with the skirt facing out. This method keeps the saddle secure and balances the weight. Alternatively, if walking, a cowboy can carry it by the pommel and cantle, ensuring it's comfortable and manageable. Proper technique helps prevent injury and makes it easier to mount and dismount.
How does the saddle work?
A jumping saddle is often used for riders in horse equestrian competitions. It is designed to seat the rider more forward, closer to the horse. It is often used in vaulting and reining.
