Saddlery

If we want to ride a horse, we need to know about saddlery! It is important to understand what each part of the tack does and how to use it properly. If a horse wears tack that does not fit them correctly, it can cause a lot of problems. Therefore, we must be very careful and always ask experts for advice.

The two most important pieces of tack are the bridle and the saddle. As I am sure you all know, the bridle is used to control the horse and the saddle is where we sit to ride! There are so many more parts of tack we can buy and use on horses but it is best to learn the basics first and keep it simple!
