A few things people should note about the way this horse was tacked up.
1. The nose band was buckled incorrectly at the lips of the horse near the bit. A big no no. It will rub there. The buckle should be slipped further around so it sits on the flat of the muzzle above the bit.
2. You should always adjust the bridle from the front of the horse before doing up the nose band, so you can see if it is crooked or sitting straight. This bridle was VERY crooked and the bit was pulled through badly on one side. This has to be adjusted before the nose band is done up. Not after.
3. You must check the REAR of the saddle cloth when saddling up too. The binding edge should never be under the cantle. The saddle should sit centrally on the saddle cloth. This saddle cloth was too small which will cause a pressure point when you sit on it and therefore a sore back. Which she would have noticed if she had checked that as part of the tacking up routine. The saddle cloth needs to be big enough to fit from the front to PAST the back of the saddle.
4. Bit was too big, but most people did notice that.
5. Tip: The furthest away ear get tucked into the bridle first!! This makes it easier to do the second ear. Less far to reach. This is not a rule... but rather a tip for shorter people or learners or owners of tall horses. As some people often struggle to get the second ear in as the bridle is tighter and they are trying to reach across the horses head to the right ear while standing on the left side. I never understand why this is not taught. It makes life so much easier for learners especially. Once you become proficient your horse should lower his head of course anyway. But as i said learners often struggle with this and this is just a tip.
Otherwise it was basically good information.
Thanks for the tip I ride a 17.2 hh horse( He's a stallion so he gives me quite a lot of trouble with mares around.) and I'm only 5' foot so the tip might help haha!
Yes you’re right but it’s not like she’s riding home so in this situation it’s OK also yeah I did notice that the bit is ginormous it comes out about 5 inches from his mouth which is a big no-no because it could cause cuts and unnecessary pain. But in this video he’s super chill so it’s not like he’s in any pain it would be different if she was riding him
This beautiful horse looks so relaxed and sleepy. :)
What the.. The saddle pad is too small.. The bit is too Big... Seriously?
I think we've noticed that..
+Ellie McNamee i commented This 7 months ago..
+Celina Bekker I know, I've just come across this video now and loads of people had already stated that 'the bit is too big' lol
I have the same noseband for my horse. Now I know the correct way to put it on!! Thank you for uploading this.
Cool.
Love the calmness in his eyes.... xxx
You are a great teacher of tacking a horse. But,you have got to explain more slowly . thank you👏. 🐴🐴
BJ is a very quiet and gentle soul.
How big I have 2 cobs / one 14hh and the other is 14.2

AllHorseTalkVideos lol he's like sleeping 😂
Jenna,
Thank you for taking the time to reply. You bring up some good points.
BJ (my horse) is in the cross ties.
There is often more than one acceptable way to do things. Putting the reins over the head, close to the ears for control (as shown) is one correct way to get ready to put the bridle on, as is the way you described.
Thank you and enjoy!
I love your videos!
Beautiful horse!
I LOVE your saddle!
I know! It's gorgeous! 👌
Your videos are fantastic hello from Australia
I think it was a lovely demonstration, and being a complete novice I learnt a lot, Thank you for taking the time to make the video , An Great Britain subscriber
Anthony Smith I’d watch a different one if I were you, lots wrong in this video
Lovely horse and definitely great info
i LOVE all that tack!!!
Thanks for this, very helpful!
OMG thank you sooo much for talking about the girth (elastic side) I've been sooo confused :) thank you so so much!
this is such an amazing video,i learned so much from it and many handy tips.
You give good advise
That bit is wayyy too big for that horse
Your horse is beautiful!
Love this video! Very helpful!
I 💞 your horse!!! Its so tall
Bj's face at 9:03 is priceless...
Finally a tacking up video that actually tells you to make sure that there is air flow under the saddle.

You need a much smaller bit and bigger saddle cloth, also he doesn't look very full of life 😂
Leave the horse alone. You problably have never seen it ride
any horse women would realise that that saddle cloth is too small, it doesn't even go past the saddle flaps and the bit is one inch too long. still a very beautiful horse though x
+Sophie Heath ... She said in the beginning of the video when she put the saddle pad on that her saddle flaps were longer than normal. It's a standard sized pad. The flaps on her saddle are longer, that's all.
Good advice
Thank you.
Thanks!
The saddle is an older Barnsby Whittaker. They are not made any more, but you might find one on ebay or at a tack store that sells used tack on consignment.
Your horse is really cute!
your tack looks so small on him. Haha. I love your videos! I learened so much about topics I wouldn't have normally visited!
Horse goals😍😍
It's a "Jeffrey Welles Elevator" bridle with a Nunn Finer figure 8 noseband. The name of the bridle was named after a horse Jeffrey rode named Elevator. It has no bearing on the effect of the bridle (as in elevator bit...).
He is a gorgeous horse. What type? And great video
When I was taught to ride I was told to ALWAYS put my helmet and gloves on before the bridle
Alyssa Fast really? I'm not being rude or anything, I'm just curious, but is it a rule that you HAVE to wear gloves when riding?
Aly Same for me!!!I got triggered when she put her helmet and gloves on after
I don’t riide with gloves to often but my barn puts the halters around there necks when bridling and we put the reins back that far and keep the bit clean with bit wipes
The horse is so so so cute😍😍♥️🐴
Bit fit is discussed as the bit is centered in BJ's mouth.He requires a 6" bit (he's very large and his jaw is wide). This bit is labeled as 6", but actually measures 6 1/4". Many (really, most) bits I see in use are too small and the rings of the bit touch the corners of the mouth, which can cause rubbing, pinching, or bruising the mouth OR bruising the bars of the mouth! There should be at least 1 finger's width (about 1/4" - 1/2") extra on EACH side of the bit.
Midnight rose, that can be a very good suggestion..
Thank you for your comments. Glad you like the videos. Try our site (URL below the video box.) I just looked at the video again. BJ does not put his tongue over the bit. He never has and he accepts it well under saddle. Thsi bit is an ergonomic Myler, level I- very gentle. A bitless bridle is a solution for some horses. However, in Dressage and the Dressage phase of Eventing a plain snaffle is required. Bitless would not work. In the Hunter ring, a bit is a needed part of the bridle.
Holy god! How big is the horse?!? The girth is huge.
Isn't weird how I know how to tack up a horse, even though I watch tack up videos.
I do the same they're just interesting😂
its fun to hear how others explain it
Don't worry I do that to 😂
very good video and ur horse is beautiful:))
In my stables we just bring our horses into their stall and turn them toward the back wall of the stall and tack/un-tack them there, so we don't need to use halters as they can't run anywhere if they move ( I realise it might not be the safest to be in a stall with a horse if they take a spook but that's just what we're doing at the moment)
my friend fell off the front of her horse and pulled his bridle straight off his face because 1. her noseband was too loose 2. her throat latch was really loose as well.
Can u do more videos
I am a spokesperson for the northeast for myler bits and this bit is not correctly fitted..I have been to several seminars on proper bit fit as refreshers..On top of it the bit is way to high in the horses mouth the bit should fit so it looks like he is smiling which is between 2 to 3 wrinkles..I am a dressage and hunt seat rider and have gotten reserve champion and champion in my divisions and may I suggest a riser pad as well..
not saying this to be smart or that she is doing anything wrong just a helpful tip when your horse opens his/her mouth a lot during a ride the horse could be telling you that he/she is in pain the horse could be trying to put their tong between the bit and the roof of the mouth to add cushion. the roof of a horses mouth only has a thin layer of skin and pressure can cause their mouth to get sore or head tossing in attempt to move away from pressure. ignoring this or tightening the straps that keep the mouth closed can worsen the problem. not saying this is what causes hea tossing it is just something to look for.
What brand of saddle pad is that?
No negative comments, just enjoy the video 😊
Is that a pony saddle pad?
The way I remember how the girth goes is that the elastic goes on the side you mount and am I the only person who doesn't take their halter of that way? I take mine off by the buckle
That is because she had a grooming strap on the side of her halter
Please clean your saddle after each use checking pressure points and billets especially for wear, cracked leather and loose stitching. Take your saddle to a good saddler for repair at signs of wear and weakness before breakage. Billets can be replaced.
Zvi Agam- This is a figure 8 noseband. The top cross piece fits under the cheek pieces and the bottom cross piece fits below the bit, as shown. This noseband prevents the horse from evading the bit by opening the mouth, or crossing the jaw or to some degree from keeping from putting his tongue over the bit.

what brand is your saddle? please reply!
Is this a jumping saddle?
my dad always needs to help me put the bridle on
That horse is massive 😂
Ms. Bunny is a graduate A pony clubber, she knows what she's talking about and I guarantee that this is perfectly safe or she wouldn't be teaching it.
Is that like and 8 inch bit or something?
l agree with sophie heath
thankyou, really helpful:)
How many hands is your horse?
You have such a big horse
Yess I love tall horses!
you sound like a smart lady:) just a quick question, is the Velcro thing (don't know what to call it) that attaches the saddle pad to the saddle really that important?i know my old trainer had us do that, but my newer barn says that you don't have to do that. i think if your girth is tight enough, it doesn't make a difference if you have it on or not. what do you think? also, what kind of bit is that?
I use them it stops the saddle pad from slipping back :-)
+Jua T The bit is a myler level 1 loose ring I believe! The billet straps are just to keep your saddle from slipping, some pads require them, others don't! My old cross country would slip like hell, I had to use those, the girth strap, and a no-slip pad underneath!
when i untack my horse i dont take the girth completely off i undo 1 side annd keep the other attached
im confused.. 1 the bit is to big and the saddle pad is to small but great explaining :)
good
How tall is bj.such pretty horse
2 cm or 1 finger's width is how much room on each side of the bit is the correct amount of extra space. Most bits I see are too small with the rings of the bit butting up against the corners of the mouth. This is the bigger sin than too large. MY biggest sin here is not centering the bit as I should have done. It is not sitting in the center of his mouth- not correct. The bit itself is not as big as it appears. Thank you for commenting.
How tall is your horse?
Figure 8 bridles and flash noseband keeps their mouth closed and prevents them from opening their mouth and relieve i
Thank you for viewing. I hope you check out our other videos on the web site!
And I place the halter on the neck of the horse loosely because then I don't have to worry about the horse moving.
This was a wonderful video for a refresher after years not riding. Thanks!

Your saddle pad is a bit to small for your horse and your saddle
People would hate how I tack up lol. I tack up in the indoor arena, no cross ties, no lead rope tied etc. Just stand there brush thoroughly, put saddle pads/ saddle on then bridle him. Im sure tons of people will disagree with how I do it. There is no one way that is the perfect way just remember that. Everyone has a different way of doings:)
I'm used to stock saddles and that one looks way to small for that horse
You know not trying to hate
what happens when your 1st bullet strap breaks on your saddle
Shouldn't the nose band go under the mouth bit rather than over it, as demonstrated?
where is the gail pad
Your saddle pad is small for that saddle.
You've got a lovely horse and did a perfect demo but please get a smaller bit you will have much more control and contact with your horse :-)
kool
What is your horses name
He's really big, nearly 17 hands and 1500 lbs. I'm 5'7".

The horse doesn't look like its enjoying it! Lol!!!
You mis-said the direction of the girth. you said that the non-elastic side is on the right, but you put it on the left, so the non elastic is suppose to be on the left side while the elastic side is on the right side of the horse?
The elastic side goes on the left, but some girths have elastic on both sides. So watch out for that! 😊
No she is ritgh tie non elastic side shood go on the rigth billit strap and thr elastic side sood go on the left side
No she is ritgh tie non elastic side shood go on the rigth billit strap and thr elastic side sood go on the left side
Anyone notice the bit pulls on his mouth a lot!
Yes! It's wayyyy to big!
it doesn't pull on his mouth, it's just that the bit is too big for his mouth, so it looks like it's pulling. :)
My horse Prince when his bit was too big he behaved really well but now it's right size he's really naughty.
Were you using two different types of bits?
Same bit different size
I’ve always been taught to have he elastic on the off side 🤔
No, the saddle goes on first then the bridle.
That saddle pad was way to small for the saddle
I'm not liking that bit. Looks way too big. I know that Herm Sprenger makes a bit like this, but should that much metal be exposed?
And what kind of horse is he
