I am new to riding and being around horses. This really helped. The people that are teaching me don't take their time with the horse and it shows he doesn't like the like saddle. I will be trying what you have done. As well as showing them this video.
I’m glad I could help!
Very helpful on many points. Thanks, I needed that.
Rudy Parnell You bet! Let me know what other tips you might want to see!
I know this video was made in 2014 but it still helped me. I used to cinch my horse up right away, and he would always try to bite me. I just tried it this way and he never tried to but me. Thanks for this video
Cheyenne Montuori we are so glad it was helpful for you! If there are any other tips or tricks you’d like to see, let us know, we are wanting to make a few more TH-cam videos to get into the swing of things!
WesternLegacyHorses could you possibly do a video on how to teach your horse not to lift its head up high when putting the bridle on? My horse does that every time I try to ride him
Equestrian Cheyenne right!!!! Same tho
I’m so sorry for the delayed responses to all of my wonderful subscribers and commenters:
Cheyenne: I can absolutely get a video done soon on having a horse lower their head when bridling/haltering. (It’s one of my favorite things to teach my horses tbh).
Please let me know if you have any other requests. I would really love to start being consistent on this TH-cam channel with tips and tricks for people to use and learn from (even if me or my horses make a mistake)
Thank you for your patience!
Ha ha. The rooster says "alright, your not going to film me.....well you're certainly gonna hear me."
Ellie Elizabeth that rooster was so annoying that day!
Great video! Wish I’d seen it a year ago when I was working with a very cinchy mare. 👍
Just as an aside, since the video did not show this, always reach for your cinch with your left hand you will stay safer this way and you can pull the latigo through with your right hand. I've rarely seen a cowboy reach under the horse with the right hand.
Thanks it helped
Nice video!
Life With Horses TV Thank you!
Excellent
hello there! I have been told that your horse will develop white spots on their fur when the cinch has been done up incorrectly. I have noticed it on my friends horse but I don't know what is being done incorrectly. if you could help me with this that would be great!!!
What should you do with the clip on the cinch if you do the texas tee on the latiago? I have the same cinch🙂
What is the significance of that brand? It looks exactly like the electronic symbol for a capacitor!
Thank you, good video.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I am currently taking questions about any topic ranging from problem solving, advanced performance, and more. If you have any questions please let me know so I can include them in my next video, trying to get more regular around here, lol
Rear cinch is making my horse nuts. I need a way to start slow without her kicking me. If she sees that cinch being pulled under she is already getting mad. It is rear cinch thing. Front is ok. Have been rubbing belly. But really, she all but panics when go to pull it up, forget buckling it. I stand with her and hold the rear cinch, but I can't buckle it. Any tips on type of rear cinch to use on really sensitive horse? My guess is that she never had one, is not used to have strap that far back. Maybe I'm putting it on too far back? Yours is more to front than I had, mine is directly under the hole where strap goes, which is pretty far back.
Sometimes getting your horse used to the back cinch can definitely be a little tricky, especially if your horse is on the sensitive side. It would best help if I could see a video of what she is doing. However, From the sound of it, you can't really accomplish anything without feeling threatened. First I want you to make sure you are standing in a safe position (45 degrees to the shoulder), and have the ability to have her nose tipped towards you a bit. I would not recommend tying her up while you practice this, as this is how you will stay safe. Take your back cinch, or even a leadrope if you have to move back a few steps, and proceed as you saw in the video, just a little farther back. Even work on her seeing you approach grabbing it. The second she remotely relaxes or stops kicking and being angry, release the pressure. and repeat the steps I described in the video. I hope this helps. If you have any more requests on what tips you would like to see, questions I can answer for you, or would like to contact me for further help on your cinching problem, please don't hesitate to find us on Facebook and shoot me a message!

Thank you very much for the reply! Last advice I got was to cinch it tight and lunge her. lol!! I said I'd be spitting out teeth with that strategy. It would be a rodeo. Now, I actually have been doing what you show here in video, since I watched it, (see-saw) but I use a rope. I wrap rope gentle around her front, behind shoulder, then slowly move rope back moving it side to side and up and down very slowly as I go. As I work my way back I can see her stiffen and lift head. At that point, go slow, take a rest and then maybe have a small treat. I wonder, are horses ticklish? That is exactly what it looks like. Thanks again!
They sure can be ticklish! Once you've completed all of your preparation at the stand still, there will come a time when you have her pack the saddle around with it done up. At that point if she goes to bucking or acting out, change directions every time she does, and make her work a little harder. When she relaxes and starts to carry herself a little easier and calmer, release and let her move out easily. If she goes to bucking again, repeat. That may be all you get done in one session, but baby steps are important! Following that session when you're ready for her to pack it around, let her stand tied nice and quietly while packing that saddle. She;ll soon learn to ignore that back cinch! Glad I could help!
You sure did help. Would love to see you do a video. I don't have a phone or any way to make a video. But yes, I stand facing shoulder and try to be matter of fact as I work with it. Even when she kicked me, was my mistake, was looking behind me as I stepped back. Next time will look, turn around and then step back. Really didn't expect her to buck, quite a surprise! :D
What size cinch is that
Sure there’s great info here but couldn’t get passed all the chatter about ground work, habits you have, etc.... i just need the info.
How do I keep my cinch from sliding up to their armpit?
Smoll Bean,
The best way to keep that from happening is to first make sure your saddle is in the correct position and fits your horse properly according to his body type.
If after that, you are still struggling, I recommenced after cinching up the final time before you step on, to pick up both front legs and stretch their knees forward, as to get the wrinkles and excess skin out from underneath the cinch.
If it’s a problem that persists in a way that it’s chafing your horse’s tender skin and causing rub/rash marks, I really like to put some “Corona” or any other creamy ointment where it it’s causing discomfort. I especially like to do this on colts for their first 14 rides or so, to keep them from getting rubbed raw on their delicate skin and to not associate being saddled With pain and discomfort.
I hope this helps, I apologize for the delayed response! Let me know if you have any more questions, I’m happy to help
I have a cinch horse when u go to cinch she goes to kick n won’t stop how do I fix that
Shana Franzen I would need to see a video of your horse to get a clearer idea, however I would start with a lead rope around your horse’s cinch area, and proceed to use the steps of bumping that lead rope tight and releasing. When she stops kicking and being belligerent, go ahead and release. Complete those steps and then proceed to use the saddle and conch and use the same steps I showed in the video. Let me know if that answers your question, and remember to stay in a safe position: 45 degrees at their shoulder. She won’t be able to kick you at that point. If there are any more tips you would like to see, please let me know! Thanks
WesternLegacyHorses I will try this n get a video for u
I look forward to helping you! Don't hesitate to find us on Facebook as well and shoot us a message for some more troubleshooting!

Could be first rib malformation
Please hire a professional saddle fitter for you horses, because that saddle does not fit your horse at all and does damage to the lumbar area and shoulder cartilage of the horse and, will eventually, cause neurological damage to the horse!
Agree, you can tell its sits too low on the wither.
