In the cool early morning at
Rosaire's Riding Academy, a little six year old girl named Samantha decided to teach her friend Abbey
how to tack a horse. First, Samantha went into the tack room and grabbed all the
tack: bridle, saddle pad, girth, and the saddle. Samantha looked at Abbey and told her to pay careful attention. The
saddle pad goes on the horse right here, as Samantha points to the correct spot. The saddle t

hen goes on top of the saddle. You need the
girth to hook onto the saddle and tighten it up. Samantha tightens the girth and the horse, Cody, looks at her and knows he will get ridden today. Abbey asks Samantha if the girth hurts Cody and Samantha shakes her head no. She moves to Cody's head and asks him to put his head down, since she is too short to put the bridle on. Samantha then puts the top part of the
bridle over Cody's ears, tightens the chain so that it isn't too tight, and buckles

the chin strap. Of course we have to wait on
Ellian Rosaire who is the
trainer to do one final tack check before you can have an ok to ride. Mrs. Ellian gives the girls the ok.
