    I don’t use cross ties and i have a horse which WILL run if he see’s that his headcollar is off, the only time when he won’t run is after 3 hours of hacking up steep hills and some galloping when possible. So when putting the bridle on i undo the nose strap of the head collar and slide it down the neck and then put the reins over and on the neck, etc.

    Not all horses need back pads though. Mine doesn’t. My horse just needs a saddle pad and then the saddle.
    But sometimes i put on whats called a saddle cover cause my saddle is old and it gets kind of uncomfortable.
