The Latigo. Western saddles use a cinch and a latigo (or cinch strap) to secure the saddle to the horse. The latigo is attached to the cinch by one of two methods: tying a cinch knot or buckling the cinch.
The cinch size will vary from horse to horse, measure the horse where the cinch should be and that'll give you a good idea of what size to get.
It is called harnessing or hitching a horse to a wagon. This involves using a harness with straps to attach the horse to the wagon, allowing the horse to pull the weight of the wagon.
Crossing over leg straps purely determined on the individual horse and how much of a predisposition they have to sliding themsleves out of rugs. Wouldnt recommend crossing over leg straps on stallions at any time. Have found that rugs with double cross over centre belly straps have better control for staying on the horse.
You tighten it from the near side (the left side). Everything at horse riding is done at the near side, mounting up, putting on the saddle, putting on the bridle and leading your horse. The only thing that isn't at the near side is your horse's mane. That goes to the off side (the right side). Hope this helped! :)
A female horse or pony is called a mare. And a boy horse or pony that hasn't been gelded is called a Stallion and a boy horse or pony that has been gelded is called a gelding.
Sometimes a rider will move their horse forward after tightening a cinch to make sure the horse is not holding it's breath then will re-tighten the cinch before mounting to ensure the cinch is tight enough when riding to hold the saddle in place. Or they will move them to make sure that the cinch isn't pinching any skin, because if it is, it can rubs sores or bald spots under the girth. if the pull their horse's legs up and forward it stretches the horse's mussels. Also, some horses can be "cinchy" or "cold-backed." If you get on a horse right after you tighten their girth it hurts so they tense up.
Adjust it for what? Where it sits on the back of the horse? The length of the stirrups? The cinch straps. All these things and more are important.

hi!a horse cinch is on a western saddle.it keeps the saddle on,just like a girth.from horseyMadJosie. : )
If you mean when they are leading their horse it is to make them move. Why do dog walkers pull their dogs forward? :) Sometimes a rider will move their horse forward after tightening a cinch to make sure the horse is not holding it's breath then will re-tighten the cinch before mounting to ensure the cinch is tight enough when riding to hold the saddle in place.

those straps are called reins, if you mean the things that you steer with
Wear a helmet. Make sure the cinch is tight, that the reins are properly positioned on the bit, your stirrups are the right length, that the cinch is not pinching the horse, and of course wear your helmet =) You will find you will get into a routine as you progress.

It is called a balding.
Its called a cinch or girth. Western saddles have cinches and English have girths as a rule of thumb. He will shy or fight or back off if you he has had to many bad experiences. The saddle is probably to tight or he has a sore or something in his hair that is irritated by the cinch.
