How to Tie a Western Cinch

Settle the saddle comfortably.

K. Blocksdorf 2006
Place your saddle slightly forward of where it should sit. Slide it back and settle it so that it is sitting comfortably on the horse's back. The cinch will be hanging down on the right side and the cinch strap will be on the left side of the horse.

You may wish to hook the stirrup up over the horn to get it out of the way.
