How do you put a horse in its stall?
Firstly, after a ride, dismount onto the floor, mounting block or a raised bit of land- from the left hand side of your horse. Then slip your arm through the reins and push the stirrup up the stirrup leather. Then do the other side. Lift the reins over the horse's head and lead the horse- again on its left side- with one hand close to the bit and one near the end on the reins. Once by the box, if the door is closed- use your leg or ankle to open it, if your hands are occupied. If it is open, walk straight in; lead your horse in an anticlockwise circle until its head is facing the door again. Close the door behind you. The horse will probably go for his/her hay and have a munch. to prevent this, hole the nose band under the chin-groove and stand in front of their hay. Take the throat latch and undo it, then wind up the reins, to prevent them being stood on, and thread the throat latch through the twisted reins and do it up, leaving a space for four fingers to fit horizontally between the horse's jowl and the throat latch. Then loosen the girth strap by one or two holes. If you want to un-tack him/her, undo the girth strap, on one side, and flip it onto the saddle seat. Then you can place it on the stable door until you have undone the bridle. To do the bridle, undo the throat latch and nose-band. Lift the head peice over the ears, the bit should pop out of the horse's mouth- so don't yank it out or there is a danger that it can bang against its teeth and they can chip. Then you can put the tack away.
