Watching how someone saddles a horse can be a mirror for other parts of their training methods.

Most quiet trainers will first, obviously, make sure that the horse’s back is clean. Then they will put down any under pads, then gently place the saddle, NEVER slamming it down, probably a bit forward, and slide it back to the correct place,

When they tighten the girth, they tend to do it in stages, not by wrenching it, NEVER by kneeing the horse in the belly.

Once again, the process is non adversarial when done right, forceful when done wrong, and this reflects a general attitude that spills over into other aspects of the schooling and training.

Watch to learn---
