How to get a horse readt to ride

     The first step to getting a horse ready to ride is finding a horse to ride. This is the most essential step to this how to. Once you find a horse you want to proceed with brushing him off making sure there are no clumps of dirt or mud on their coat. Make an extra effort to get the area between the two front legs, because this is where the cinch will be going. The next thing you need to do is get all your tack ready like your bridle and your saddle. I typically like to start with saddling the horse then putting the bridle on. When putting the saddle on be sure that its not leaning to any side more than the other and be sure that it isn't too far up on his shoulder blades or too far back. You want to start by tightening the front cinch, making sure it isn't too tight for the horse to be uncomfortable or too loose where the saddle is siding. Proceed with t\doing h same for the back cinch, but you barely want it touching the horses flank. After that's done put on the bridle and you're ready to ride.
