    Horses have been around since almost the beginning of time. At first they were just wild animals roaming the land, but eventually humans started to domesticate them and use them for different tasks. Before cars, trucks and trains were invented, the horse was the only mode of transportation. People would ride them to get to places, or hook them up to wagons to haul large loads, but after the creation of motorized vehicles, horses became a thing of the past. Nobody wanted a horse, but almost everyone had one for sale.…

Just like humans, horses don’t want to have stuff thrown at them so make sure to lightly place the saddle directly onto the pad. Then, take the cinch and pull it under the horse’s stomach and pull it tight enough with the latigo to keep the saddle in place but not too tight that it will be uncomfortable for the horse. When tightening or adjusting any equipment it is always done on the left side of a horse. After the cinch has been pulled you will then reach under the horse and hook the back cinch.…

The leather felt cool to the touch and the warm Colorado sun shone out of a clean slate of blue that brought out the comforting smell of horse and leather. I breathed in deeply and caught the piney scent of the sage brush which quickly turned to dust in my nose as the horses in the corral churned up the dry, dusty dirt of the mountains.
