I would say for a lot of people who aren’t horseman, such as myself, stick around for these videos you can learn a lot from Dewayne even if you’re not into the wrangling lifestyle.

Even though it’s a video about saddling a horse, there’s a message about life in there. I love that!!! 👍🏼❤️

"Be nice to your horse, set him up to succeed." There is always a lesson in every one of your videos. I hope to come out and ride with you and mama in the next few years. Thank you for sharing Dewayne. Hope all is well!

Thanks, Biscuit. 😃👍

Sheridan Wyoming here, we are glad to see you are back on track, horses!

Being half paralyzed; I doubt I’ll ever ride a horse; but I still learned something new; which is excellent! Thanks Dewayne and Momma for filming!

I'm in my 60's and have ridden for about 40 of those 60 years and even though I preferred riding bareback, NO ONE ever explained saddling a horse this way. THANK YOU! Wow, all those years I was doing it wrong. 😢

This is absolutely the best advice on correct saddling that I have found. A respectful, humble, and informative gem!!! He is a real cowboy.

I just learned the term "yard art" I always thought people were saying "yardark" I had no idea what that meant but when Dwayne said "yard art" it clicked that's wild learned a new word

That little extended ending was great

I agree, I always remember being told to ensure my English saddle sat just behind the shoulder so that the horse's shoulder wasn't blocked when the horse moved his leg back. Also that the back of the saddle didn't extend behind the last rib.

Glad to see a video on horses vs what I call human ethics. Going to saddle my horse in the morning using this method to check my self

Loved the video, the closeup shots and as the horse walked away probably thinking "i hope he does not call me back for a second take..."

Off topic of the videos topic but you and mama are so cute together.

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers ❤

wish I could have watched this 10 years ago, had to figure it out the hard way.

Ive been riding and wrangling all my life, and when friends ask me to teach them to ride but have no knwodlege of horses I direct them to videos like this. You explained everything perfectly, alligning the concho with the end of their scapula is how I was taught. Thank you for making a quality video I can show people so I dont have to be teaching them for a couple hours with my horses tied up.

Yard art horses!😂 I’ve always heard them called “pasture ornaments.”

Beautiful country ! I'm so glad spring is here !

Dewayne, I haven’t ridden for some 30+ years, but I love these videos.

I thought it was really cool that you guys kept the video playing after Dwayne said his salutations. it was a really cool way to conclude the video and watch the horse walkway as Dwayne put the saddle back in the tack shed. You guys should do more of that stuff.

The END? The horses just roam free❤️ Amazing 👏

I just wanted to say that I have been listening to your videos this past week. I am currently going through a difficult time in a relationship I’m in. You always cheer me up when I listen to you. You always share great life lessons.

Dwayne is so right. More people than you think have no idea how to fit nor saddle a horse. Great presentation!!!!

After almost 60yrs riding, (mostly English). Thank you.

This is the best saddle placement video I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

I’ve been confused by many videos, and yours finally made me see the light. Thank you so much.

I found the channel through the wisdom-videos, now I'm finding myself enjoying the horse-videos more and more, despite never really having much interesting in the subject. They are, for some reason, really calming :)

GREAT VIDEO! I don't even ride a horse, but this video is so informatiive and clear about how to saddle a horse that I feel I could do it myself. This makes so much sense.

This IS Huge a very basic issue so many struggle with .....YOU just Fixed Thank You

Thank you very much. I've been riding 46 years, and I never knew this. I'm glad it'll be better for Comanche and Griffin now. Comanche is a Gipsy Vanner, and Griffin is 50% Appaloosa, 25% vanner and 25% Highland Pony

Beautiful lesson. I don't ride horses myself, but I still find these instructionals fascinating. Thank you so much, and keep them coming. And congratulations on surpassing the 1 million subscribers milestone, thoroughly well-deserved. God bless 🙏🏼❤️‍🔥💪🏽

Thanks Dewayne! More good saddle & cinch placement info, I learned more! I SO appreciate the info you two share.😊😊

All I can say is Thank you, Thank you , Thank you.

What a great demo! I've moved saddles back after noticing a weird change in gait. Thought that was due to shoulder restriction. Loved how you addressed the weight aspect- especially down-hill. I generally place the saddle on the withers then slide it back several inches till it finds that sweet spot where it seems to lock in. Sort of a 'feel' thing. Does that work, too? Would love to hear you address proper fit of breastcollars and different types/uses as they relate to conformation and diciplines. You're a wealth of good info, so glad you pass it along. Big congrats to you and Momma for making it big and keeping things real❤

Thank you for these explanations. It all brought me back to a time when I was introduced to horse riding, as a child. I remember that it is important to connect with your horse, and that they can feel what you feel. So I think that treating your horse right is part of the whole process :)

I havent ridden horses in a very long time. But in that time i never saddled a horse. Only rode them. I didnt know there were proper techniques to saddling. I love learning and learning new things. This video was informative and interesting to watch. Thank you Dwayne and mama Noel for these videos. I love them.❤ Gods blessings to you and your family always.🙏🎚❤️

FINALLY. Thank you for this well informed, easy to understand video with CORRECT information. I'm a horse trainer and western saddle "fitter" (I use that term loosely as most fitters in my area are from an English background and haven't the first clue about western saddles). 98% of the horses I work with or am fitting, they have the tree right up on the horses shoulders. Or even worse, use hollow treed Indian import saddles. I was going to make my own video on this for clients, but you saved me the time-now I can just send them yours.

Thank you. This video was needed. Now grab yourself a cigar. I truly respect you. Thank you

I'm not a rider but i found this fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

I watched you when it was more about horses. Keep doing stuff like this and I'll start watching again.

Greetings from a South African farmer.. great video sir. Very helpful since I am about to purchase my first horse this week

Great presentation/explanation. I ride my horse 3-5 times a week and saddle him as you described (as I learned at your school in TN) and have never had my saddle roll, and have never developed a sore on my horse. Thanks.

Delightfull being this man, coming from a man that is, aspiring!

Thanks Momma and Dewayne,very informative and excellent sound.

Have to say.. You did a good job on those 2 saddle considerations . Being it's a tender topic. Was wanting you so much to be right what a relief.

I already have tried this out, and tried on saddles at my friends' and I am amazed. (See previous comment below). She was fitted with the bars on the shoulders and it was uneven with every tree over a dozen years ago, so I was convinced to go treeless. Now, I haven't minded riding in a treeless all these years, my saddle is super comfortable for her and I, but I will feel a little more secure for cantering practice. I have sent this to several of my horse friends and this will be fun to reevaluate our horses. Thank you DeWayne! I literally stumbled onto this video! I cantered last week in a western barrel saddle and no buck or resistance at all. First time in 16 years that I've owned her!

Once again, excellent information! One of the best explanations of saddle placement out there! I must admit, I was a cinch chaser. Placing the saddle so the cinch fell where I thought it should be. Thanks for your videos!

I love when people know what they're talking about.

Unfortunately for me, i live outside of the US and in a place where you can only dream of having enough money to buy land and get your own horses. The people who own a lot of land here are farmers (and godbless them), usually these lands have been passed down and have been in their families for generations. I'd love nothing more than to live a nice humble life outside of a city, with my own land, own cattle and horses. But i know that will never be a reality for me, so dewaynes videos, for me, are a gift that keeps on giving. God bless ya dewayne.

I know zero about this lifestyle, but I have learned more from you than anyone in my life. Respect 💯

I really appreciate the time you two put into this video and all the lessons you share.

You n momma are cute!!!🌈🫶❤️❤️❤️ Love yall

You have so much riding knowledge. Long rides.

I have been around horses all of my life. Listen to this man, he has the gospel truth.

Dewayne and Momma, I don’t know much about horses but I love your passion around the subject. There is nothing that tops truly enjoying what you do and it comes through on this video. Finding a way to make a living at what you love is a true blessing. Peace, love, and happiness to y’all and your family.

The best „how to saddle your horse“ video I’ve seen ! As I started riding I struggled saddling my horse the right way and no video did really work for my . I absolutely love the aura in your videos . Keep going!

Sometime, sir, I hope to see video of you finishing the saddling of a horse...as in, how snug do you tighten the cinch and belly band? And how do you fit a bridle properly to a horse? All their heads are different, too. So many questions I have about proper saddling and bridling procedures! Because a horse's comfort, health, and safety should always come first....especially since they're doing you the service of carrying you around. 😊

Thanks so much Dwayne for the video, I’ve been watching you from the start and I love when you go back to the wrangling and cowboyin videos

I enjoyed this lesson. +++

I'm not a horse rider but hopefully I can show a cute girl I know how to saddle a horse one day 😅..thanks Dwayne, and wow what a view yall have that is pretty amazing

Very interesting, I've always seen a horse saddened forward on the withers, thanks for clearing me up on this.

I live for this stuff, sir....🤠

Thank you for sharing these tips again!

Very good video. Unfortunately, I bet you stepped on a few toes. I was shown this nearly 60 years ago, not near as nicely as you did. An old uncle came out, saw us saddling up his horse. He jerked the saddle off and showed us how to saddle a horse correctly. Only difference he offered to put our back pocket up somewhere between our shoulders. I love ya'lls videos, thank you for all that ya'll do, and thanks, Momma for your camera work. God bless ya'll for aii you do. And stay safe out there on your trails.

Congrats again on One Million Subscribers! 👏 🐎 🐴 💡👏☀️🙏😊💚

I rode a lot in Yosemite and I found it helped to anticipate what was going to happen during the first few miles, like if it was going to be really steep uphill I would start with it a little bit forward knowing it would settle back and vice versa, helped not having to stop the string in awkward spots for adjustments.

Great video! Best regards from Norway

Very good info and a very good, calm, & well behaved horse. Love it.

So glad to see a horse video!!!! Long over due!!!!

YES Brother this is Huge Needed Info , so confusing issue ...Thank you

Thank you Dewayne and Momma so wonderful and detailed. I love all and Biscuit earned a carrot 💕

Great video, great information, we’ll done, thank you!

I thought biscuit was getting ready to stand there and go to sleep till Daddy woke him up 🤣

Another fantastic lesson! Thanks, Dewayne

I learn a lot from every episode. Thank you for that! 👍

Excellent video. I learned so much.

Love this video! Two options for a cinch workaround when the saddle is placed correctly behind the scapula, but due to rigging cinch is too far forward. The first is what is erroneously called shoulder relief cinch. It's actually elbow relief. The cinch is a curved cutaway shape to allow more elbow room. The second is take your saddle to a good saddle shop and get it reworked to change rigging position if possible. The first option is cheaper and better imo. Caveat would be if you love that saddle and are using it on one horse or several that all have same issue.

I am yet to ride a horse, I’ll take any info I can!

Thank you!!! Love this information!!!

I am new at horseriding and this is the BEST video I have ever seen. Now I know exactly where to put the saddle. Thank You.

Thank you Dwayne!

Nice seeing Dewayne in action 🤔🤠

That Wag got under yer saddle, Pilot.👩🏻‍🌾

Well my horse would thank you very much for this. Lesson learned.

I cannot imagine saddling fifty horses in an hour. It takes me that long to saddle one horse. Even with one horse I’ve been doing it wrong all along. No wonder he doesn’t like me as I’m already near his carrying capacity. After this video - hopefully today’s ride goes better! Of course I’m counting ground work in that saddling time - he’s quite disrespectful and needs to be reminded of our relationship before we start.

Loved the ending and great video!!❤

Dewayne! I just love it!

Beautiful and informative video. Thank you for the lesson!

That really was a great video. Very informative, and very much appreciated.

good lesson, with good video technique, and a really nice finale many thanks

The Manhattan saloon in Manhattan MT has a burger named after you! It’s the DRY CREEK burger!💪🇺🇸🦅💯!!

Thank you for this video, there is so much info out there and yet all different all i want is whats best for him. I even went to more bareback riding due to not really finding the info that felt settling in my spirit as truth. This hit, thank you for your time and wisdom and thank you for the k.i.s.s. method presentation i love that, no i am by no means calling you stupid please dont take it that way. Much love and peace be with you and yours.

Good ending to that one, good filming momma

Great video Dewayne very informative. I’m going to saddle my horse today and try this exactly as you advised. Love these horse videos please keep them coming.

Excellent video. I’ve encountered many a person that didn’t know how to tack up their mount after stating they have “experience”. These same people gall their mount along the cinch line , especially on ones that have recently come off winter pasture.

Dewayne is like an angel along my journey that deep down feels like it's heading towards needing to know how to horsepack/mulepack supply lines to my Foresters

You. Forgot. To say that you need to place it behind the scapula to allow the shoulder blades to move freely. Other than that very good video. God Bless Dewayne !

Thank you for this. I really needed this info.

Great information. Thanks Really made me think about how I teach saddling
