"Hi, this is Mara Keith-Hunter for Expert Village. Today I would be talking about how to tack up a horse. Next we would be taking the saddle off. So to begin with, we would start on the left side of the elastic is that this side is a little flexible and easy to stretch. So I'm would take this side off, we are going to take it out of the martingale, come around and we would take the girth off on this side. Now some horses are only trained to have the tack taken off and put on the left side just to be careful we go back over to the left. Slip the whole piece off and putting over here back on the rack. Then for the martingale, we can either slip it over his head since it has ties we are going to undo. Like so. "
