How do you properly sinch a horse saddle?
To cinch a saddle (western without a buckle) 1. Put saddle on horse. Let the cinch hang down on the right side of the horse, making sure it isn’t twisted. 2. Go around to the horses left side. Reach under the horse to grab the cinch Take the latigo ( long leather or nylon strap), and thread it through the big ring on the cinch. It should go in the backside and come out the front. Don’t pull it tight yet. 3. Take the free end of the latigo and put it through thebig ring on the saddle that the other end is attatched to, then put the free end through the big ring on the cinch again. You should now have a nice loop that will tighten the cinch as you pull up on the free end of the latigo. 4. To tie the knot: put the free end of the latigo through the ring on the saddle again, but this time let it stick out to the left. Bend the latigo infront of the ring agai, so that it is now facing right. Put it up through the ring, then down again, but under the horizontal section you just made. 5. Walk
