Ok, this is going to be a bit confusing, but try to bear with me...
Ok, on in English saddle you are going to lift up the leather underneath the left stirrup leather. You should see 2 to 3 buckles depending on the type of saddle/cinch. All you need to do is pull up on the strap that's doing through the buckle and pull the metal bar (on the buckle) down. Do this for the second and third straps. Viola! Your done!! All you need to do now is Put the cinch on top of the saddle, grab the saddle and pad firmly in the front of the saddle, using your left hand, and the back of the saddle, using your left hand. Pull the saddle off the horses left side and Your done!!
In a western saddle the process is slightly diffrent. Take the left stirrup and hook it on the horn. This will make it much easier to access the girth. You should see a long leather or cloth strap.
If it looks like a tie, all you need to do is follow the strap through the center of the knot, back around the right side of the D ring, and through the left side. At this point, the strap should just be going though the D ring and the cinch. Pull the strap until its loose. Then, once the saddle is loose, grab the strap at the middle and loop it back through the D ring, go over to the other side of the horse and pull the cinch back over the top of the saddle. Then go back to the left side of the horse, and pull the saddle and pad off.
If it just looks like a buckle then just un loop it from the side ring, take the strap through the D ring, then un loop it from the cinch until the metal that goes through the hole is exposed. Then as if you were tightening the saddle, pull up, pull the metal bar out of the hole and continue until loose.
Sorry I hope that wasnt too confusing!! If you have anymore questions about horses, just post them no my board.

You need to unattach the girth. Then you pull the saddle of.
Once you remove a horses saddle be sure to put the girth over the saddle and pull up the stirrups . DO NOT THROW IT DOWN ! THIS COULD DAMAGE THE TREE ( the wooden bit inside to keep it firm and a good shape)
Your ment to because it protects the stirrup leathers.
The horn of a horse is referring to the horn of a horses saddle, which is normally on a western saddle.
You don't have to ride horses with a saddle, but there are some advantages to the use of saddles.
frame The hard part of a saddle is called a saddle tree.
The fearnen saddle is a saddle that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police use on their horses.
The saddle pad actually predates the saddle itself. There is no exact year, but when horses were first ridden people used cloth as a barrier between them and the horses back. These were the first saddle pads, and the precursor to the saddle.
They needed younger horses
