Hi! I'm Kelli on behalf of Expert Village and I am going to show you my techniques to saddling a horse with an English saddle. So the first thing you want to do when you are getting ready to saddle your horse is of course, groom it. So the supplies that you would want to use for that are a curry comb, a stiff brush and a finishing brush. Then of course in order to saddle your horse, you are going to need an English saddle. I prefer using two types of saddle pads. I like to put a square one on first and then an English one on top of that to give your horse a little more cushion. You also will need a riser pad to ensure that your saddle sits on the proper way on the horse's back. Of course, your English saddle and then your English girth. So those are a few of the supplies that you will need to saddle your horse with an English saddle.
