Your saddle is designed to make it comfortable for your horse. It should also be comfortable for the rider. First a blanket is placed over the back. Then a pad goes on top of the blanket. It should extend beyond the edges of the saddle on the front, back and sides. This and all saddle accessories can be color coordinated.
It is held in place by the cinch strap, which is attached on both sides and goes under the stomach of the horse. There are cinch straps in various materials ranging from rope to leather. They may be cushioned on the side that comes into contact with the belly.
The stirrups lie on either side and the rider places her or his feet in them for balance. The length can be adjusted to fit the height of the rider. To mount, the left foot is put in the left stirrup and the right leg swung up over the back of the equine.
The stirrup can be purely utilitarian. Some of the more ornate ones are suitable for riding in parades or shows. Some are made of wood and others of aluminum. These can be engraved in beautiful patterns.
Shades of brown and beige leather can be used. Some are black. Leather can be tooled in a pattern. There are those made specifically for barrel racing, pleasure riding or calf roping contests.
Moisturizing soap is used to keep the leather conditioned and avoid cracking. This should be done frequently if you ride every day. For transporting, there are cases that completely cover the leather and keep it clean.
The bridle is a headpiece that is usually made of leather. It fits over the head, rests behind the ears and holds the bit which is used to signal the equine when to stop and turn in either direction. The reins are attached on either side of the bit.
There are different styles of bits. One is the snaffle bit and another is the shank style. There are variations and each horse may be controlled more efficiently with one style or the other. The Hackamore is a training device which exerts pressure on the nose, used for training the green horse.
English riders use a bridle with two sets of reins. Two reins are held in each hand. The Western rider uses one set of reins and holds both in the left hand as he or she rides. If the horse is well-trained, it will stop, turn to either side and back up in response to signals transmitted by the reins.
When the riding is over and the bridle removed, the halter is put on. This is like a bridle without the bit. A lead rope will be attached to a metal ring under the chin. It allows the owner to walk the animal to cool down, enter the barn and is usually worn all the time, including out in the pasture.
In winter, many owners protect a horse by covering it in a blanket. This blanket must be used all the time once it is started. This is because, once worn, the horses coat does not come in as thick as it does without a blanket being used and will not keep the animal warm enough.
