NO you do not have to lengthen the stirrups. In fact the girth is completely separate from stirrups. Just throw the stirrup over the pommell or horn, and adjust by cinceh or girth buckles. The western saddle has a circle cinch, that you adjust to make the daddle snug. The English saddle has two straps like belt buckles that you tighten to get the saddle snug.
um yh but u shouldn't really take ur feet out the stirrups when u do it(at least with an English saddle i dunno about western) all u have 2 do is like lift ur foot up a bit and if u cant do it like tht and u need to take ur foot out the stirrup then take BOTH feet out otherwise if ur horse spooks or summin u will b dragged along

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
