What is the cantel of a saddle?
If your horse has the saddle on and you go to your horses left look at the saddle. if u go from the seat and towards the back where the tail is (the right) the part closes to the tail. (Go on google.com and type in saddle diagrams and youll find what your looking for.)
Well on an english saddle it's called a girth, on a western saddle it's called a cinch.
I would say about 5 to 8 pounds at least, maybe 10 pounds. That was one thing I always love English saddles, they are no where as near as heavy as the Western saddles, but I love riding in both styles.
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
The slick fork saddle (also known as an A-fork) is named for the shape of it's fork. The fork is the saddle part at the front of the saddle tree that joins the bars together and provides a base for the horn.
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.
How do you put a horse bridle together?
Unless you plan on your horse hauling heavy loads I would suggest first making a long girth strap-like thing. Get several metal rings and weave them into a long girth strap. You want the strap to go almost all the way around. The rings should be evenly spaced and five is a good amount and you can play with the harness design. The rings should be big enough to hold the weight you are pulling and small enough that the clip of a dog leash can hook it. For the breast strap, find a sturdy length of material (chair wicking works well) and fasten it to one ring, approximaitly where it should go and fasten a clip or hook to the other end. Then wrap the girth around, hook the breast strap and clip on some dog leashes for traces. Teh extra metal rings can be used for rein guides, martinangle rings, or anything else you can think of. I have been working on a harness for a calf and it's all done except the bridle right now. Be creative and try a lot of different things; belts, material, salvaged tack from garage sales, dog leashes, anything you can think of.
What is the movement of objects and substances that move from one place to another?
yes,sound waves always move from one substance to another
How can you tell what size saddle I need?
The stirrup iron should half a quarter to half inch of space on either side of your foot.
The stirrup leather should be adjusted depending on the sport you're participating in. Dressage requires a long straight leg, jumping uses a short stirrup leather, and general or trail riding uses a length in between dressage and jumping.
To adjust for these make sure the leather is attached to the saddle and then pull it out and away, it should be roughly as long as your arm and may need to be adjusted up or down a couple of holes for various disciplines.
What is better to ride horses with an English saddle or a western saddle?
The best way to ride a horse is to evaluate what that particular horse is built and bred for. The ability of the rider is also important. A bad rider can injure a horse more than what seat a rider uses. Also, considering what sport you are in may help you to determine which saddle you prefer to use. Obviously if you are a jumper you would be better in an English saddle, and if you are a barrel racer, you would most likely use a western saddle.
What causes a small painful bump under your tongue in the salivary gland?
** This is a post from a medical forum, this is not my personal response! **
"A bump under the tongue that comes and goes sounds like it may be a mucocele or mucus extravasation phenomenon. In this location, it can also be called a ranula. Essentially, a mucocele occurs when a salivary (spit) gland under the skin develops a leak in its tube or duct that guides the saliva onto the surface of the mouth. The spilled saliva collects into a small pool that produces a soft bump or lump and this bump may appear slightly bluish in color. The body tries to absorb this spill, but the damaged duct often continues to leak, leading to a waxing and waning course. Minor surgery is often needed to remove the saliva pool and the damaged salivary gland. This treatment is usually provided by an oral surgeon.?
Where is the saddle club filmed?
Well, honey, The Saddle Club was filmed in Australia, specifically in Victoria. So, if you're looking to ride off into the sunset like those gals, you might want to head down under. Just make sure you bring your own horse and fabulous equestrian outfit, darling.
People move from one place to another because people run out of resources in one place so they have to move to another.

um well there is metal...or steel...i thinks it is kool 2 be writing this!(HI MOM) the parts of a horse shoe are -the bearing surface (the surface that goes on the hoof) -the toe clips (usually on front feet, stop shoes slipping back) -the quarter clips (usually on hind feet, stops shoes form twisting) -the fullered groove (the groove on the bottom of the shoe) some shoes have a calkin or a wege, which is a raised peice on the heel. this gives the horse more grip, but can be dangerous if the horse tends to kick

What is the difference between a hunt saddle and a dressage saddle?
There's no such thing as a show saddle, unless you mean a saddle you use exclusively for shows.
A dressage saddle has a very deep seat to help the rider sit and a long, straight saddle flap to accommodate the longer leg position. The girth straps are also quite long so that the short dressage girth does not hinder the leg laying flat.
Typically the saddles used in hunter/jumper shows are of medium depth with a more forward cut flap.

Who invented the first western riding saddle?
The North Iranian Eurasian nomads known in Europe as Scythians and in Asia as Saka developed an early form of saddle with a rudimentary frame, which included two parallel leather cushions, with girth attached to them, a pommel and cantle with detachable bone/horn/hardened leather facings, leather thongs, a crupper, breastplate, and a feltshabrack adorned with animal motifs. These were located in Pazyryk burials finds. These saddles, found in the Ukok Plateau, Siberia were dated to 500-400 BC. Iconographic evidence of a predecessor to the modern saddle has been found in the art of the ancient Armenians, Assyrians, and steppe nomads depicted on the Assyrian stonerelief carvings from the time of Ashurnasirpal II. TheScythians also developed an early saddle that included padding and decorative embellishments. Though they had neither a solid tree nor stirrups, these early treeless saddles and pads provided protection and comfort to the rider, with a slight increase in security. The Sarmatians also used a padded treeless early saddle, possibly as early as the seventh century, BC. And depictions ofAlexander the Great depict a saddle cloth.
The earliest saddles were simple pads attached with a surcingle seen by 800 BC, with the saddle tree coming into use circa 200 BC, and paired stirrups by 302 AD.
The first 'saddle'(Created by the Sarmations) was basically just a cloth thrown over the horses back, this started in central Asia and changed over time to include a surcingle to hold the cloth on. At some point stirrup straps were added and eventually stirrup irons themselves (they were originally made of wood). The design eventually morphed into the Iberian style of saddle, which is still cloth or leather with rolls in front and back. The saddle was 'redesigned' by the English who wanted a saddle that they could jump in as Iberian saddles are not designed for jumping. That is how the modern English style saddle came about. The western saddle was invented by Mexican Vaquero's who used the Iberian saddle and added a horn to the front to attach ropes and equipment. The western saddle was designed for the riders comfort in mind and not the horses when they were first created.
It was the infamous Mr sheen One day when he mounted up on his horse, he found himself in a rather uncomfortable position, he then invented the ingenius device the saddle. At first he skinned a sheep, and used the carcass, but then wondered if the wool might be softer , thus ends our story!
valsert gasmer phillops invented the saddle
There are some claims that the Assyrians were the first among the eastern Mediterraneans to use a saddle, or at least something similar to a saddle, but without stirrups.
Others claim that the Sarmatians, a people originally of Iranian stock who lived by the Black Sea, invented the saddle, including stirrups and spurs, around 365 A.D.. They were skilled horsemen who trained their horses for use in battle. After the Sarmatians were conquered by the Goths (of southern Russia) towards the end of the third century, the saddle concept was taken and developed further by European Medieval knights. They gave the seat more padding and added a pommel which rose high in front of the rider to protect his stomach from lances during jousts.
Is it possible to jumop while riding in side saddle?
Absolutely!! Women have been active in the hunt field while riding side saddle for over 100 years. Some of us just like jumping, and don't bother hunting or showing. Check out the Photo Gallery at www.sidesaddle.com This is one of my favorite images: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/upload/img_400/foh31.jpg or just do a google images search on "side saddle jumping" http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&sa=1&q=side+saddle+jumping&btnG=Search+images&aq=f&oq= -Jeannie Whited
Can you use saddle soap on distressed leather?
No, it's a cleaner with some conditioning properties. It will not work as a resist, sorry.
When was the side saddle invented?
The fall of the sidesaddle is linked to the rise of female liberty, for it was the dawning of political freedom which brought about the overdue death of this repressive equine invention. The extent of that dramatic social change began to be apparent in the early 1930s when women were offered the option of equestrian equality. They abandoned the sidesaddle in droves in favour of riding astride.
Then, when the acclaimed film National Velvet was released in 1944, women old enough to have spent their childhood in a sidesaddle watched the young girl, Velvet Brown, dream not of being a pretty face but of winning the Grand National steeplechase while riding astride.
How many basic styles are there of a bit?
There are five main categories of bits. These are:
- Snaffle
- Curb
- Pelham
- Gag
- Nose
In dressage, there are restrictions on the type of bit you can use. Only snaffle bits, and in higher levels, double bridles, may be used and are classed as 'legal'.
Where do the reins attach on a snaffle bit?
