Haltering a Horse Before Saddling English Style

Hi! I'm Kelli on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to show you my techniques to saddling a horse with an English saddle. The first thing you are going to do is put our halter on our horse. So we are going to take our right hand and reach around and grab her nose. We are going to take the crown piece of her halter, place her nose in there and pull it really gently up over her ears. Make sure her forelock or her mane isn't stuck in there and pulling in any uncomfortable way. We are going to take our clip here and we are going to clip it to little o-ring on the side. Some halters will have a crown piece that goes up over the ears, so all you do is just slip it through there and buckle it up if your halter is made that way. You want to make sure that it doesn't sit too tight on the horse's face so that it doesn't rub or doesn't pull. It should usually sit couple of inches up from the nostril, your nose band so that it is not too tight or too small on your horse. And that is how you put your halter on your horse.
