From April Reeves, Horseman's U.com:

Either.

You can ground drive a horse first, which would entail using a bridle and surcingle.

Or you can use roundpen, Natural Horsemanship or 'western' methods, where you get the horse comfortable with the saddle first and desensitize him, before the bridle.

I have used both methods, depending on the future use of the horse. Both work (under professional hands) but will achieve slightly different outcomes.

You put the saddle on first. You don't put the bridle on first because then your horse wouldn't be able to be tied up to put the saddle on.

What does it mean to tack up a horse?

It usually takes me about 10 minutes. I put the saddle and blanket on first, then the bridle. When it's cold outside, be sure the bridle is warm enough it put in your horse's mouth. If the bit is too colod, it can stick to their tongue and rip their tongue when you take the bridle off. I would suggest putting the bridle on last when tacking and taking it off first when untacking. It will help you and your horse have a better ride!

What is the first thing you should put on your horse before anything else before going riding?

Good question! The order you place things on your horse is this: Saddle Blanket Saddle Girth Bridle Remember never to put the bridle on first or take it off last, because if the horse chomps at the bit for a long time, it can cause painful toothaches, stress on the teeth, and irritation of the mouth and gums.


How do you ride the horse on let's ride friends forever?

Go to the harness room and select a saddle by clicking on it. Put it in the inventory and click on the horse. Click on the saddle in the inventory and when your mouse turns into the saddle, click the horses back. If there's no saddle in the harness room, go buy one at the shop. It won't go on unless you have a saddle blanket under it. Hope this helps. :)
