well you really shouldint put it on the ground... a saddle rack or bar would work better. but if you do so 1. Stand your saddle nose down on the fork. This position puts the weight on the very strong fork and doesn't cause any other parts to be bunched up. 2. Lay your saddle on its side with the fenders and stirrups lying smoothly. Make sure nothing is bunched up under the saddle. 3. Lay your saddle upside down with the weight on the horn and cantle. Fold the fenders and stirrups inward. DO NOT place your saddle down right side up, flat on the ground. This position puts pressure on the tree and fork and almost always bunches up your fenders, stirrups and skirts.
