Putting on the Bridle: Free Horseback Riding Lessons

Video Transcript

" Hi my name is Sarah Stetner. I'm an expert horse rider on behalf of Expert Village. In this video we are just explaining how to put the saddle on English and how to prepare for it and now I'm just getting ready to put the bridle on him. So we do take off his halter and there is a safe and correct way to do this. To put his halter around his neck so he doesn't run off as you can see I still have control over him. Go ahead and get his nose through the nose band. Make sure that his head stall is going to be up before the bit goes up in his mouth. So in order to get the bit in his mouth just put it right in between his teeth and tell him bit. Which did not work. Ho. Ho. Horses do that sometimes you just got to take control. So you just tell him bit and if does not make sure that you get the chin straps back over there back under his chin. Rowd. So there he took the bit. If the horse does not take the bit you have to do it over and over again. Go ahead and put the ear piece over the ears."
