How to put a saddle on
Note that saddling normally mainly takes place on the left side of the horse.
It is also known as the horse's " blind side ". The horse doesn't kick mostly when you stand on the left side for saddling or patting a new horse.
Have the saddle pad and saddle ready. Whether it be on a saddle stand or a nearby fence, have it ready to be put straight on the horse so you do not have to make the horse wait any longer than necessary.
