How do you use the rigging to saddle the horse? Do you use a back cinch with this setup?

Hello you do not need to use backrigging unless you want to. To saddle you just use the ring on the front with a western girth. Thanks

This comes with a "saddle valve", here is a link to the instructions so that you can see what needs to be done. Thank you.http://www.manualslib.com/manual/324445/Ge-Gxrm10rbl.html?page=5#manual

I asked my granddaughter your question today. She said it is the only saddle her horse would use and she knows someone else that used this saddle on an extremely wide pony and had great results. She is looking to get additional saddles eventually from this company.

All you have to do is turn the base over. With the picture shown, it is set up for the rocker. Turn the base over and you have a stable base with a horse that will simply bounce up and down. There are no springs. It uses rubber bands for both setups.

I haven't done that, but it seems simple to me, at least in theory. Just tap it with a rubber mallet, but opposite of the way that you put it together. The seat comes out first. It does not slide in, it was pressed DOWN to assemble. Turn the rocker upside down, hit on the bottom of the seat, close to the slots where it joins the sides, (not in the middle of the seat) until it comes loose. Then turn it right side up, put something underneath the back part, and hammer the sides down. Hit on the back of the arm rest close to the slots where the arms are joined to the side. Yes, if you have been using it, I bet it will be tight and hard to get loose. It's designed so your weight forces the parts closer together. Don't hit so hard you wreck it. Have patience and keep tapping. Maybe squirt some silicone lubricant (not oil) in the joints a half hour before you start.

I found the seat comfy, adjust to your sitting level then really tighten the lever, perhaps using a small pliers to get it tight! The original seat didn't fit right so I bought the stress free seat, the only other thing would be a seat back for longer rides , ride safe!

I used the included rope cocking device. It's very easy to cock the bow with it and requires minimal effort. I hope this is useful to you.

There wasn't really a trick . i just read the directions. However I must warn you to be careful operating when fully extended. Very hard to manage fully extended without straining the shoulder. I had the harness to relieve some of the tension, what a piece of crap.

I did not buy mine on line so it may very. When I had my horses I would stay on them for 6 to 8 hours. I have R.A. I could not feel the impack when my horse went to a gallop. You have to make sure that you have the right pad and cinch for horse and the saddle in the right area on the horse. The saddle does give a little for horse comfort but don't over cinch or pinch the nerve. Allow for breathing room. I have worked and study in and as Animal Control person. I do care for the animals well being. Happy Trails TO YOU!

I have a mare who is on the small side although she is big barreled. I had hoped this saddle would fit her. However, I was very disappointed at the length of the cinch. It is way too long. So, I have never been able to use the saddle because I cannot find another, shorter, cinch to use with it.

They have two 'D' rings near top that can be clipped (not included) or tied to the saddle. If you desire, additional rings appear to be easy to attach at different points on the material but it secured well enough with the two I didn't think them necessary. I have a horse with a rocking horse canter so can't say how they might 'bounce' about at this gait on other horses but his trot is similar to other breeds and they stayed in place and sat quietly.

I use a Vanguard -Espod 203AP. You can use it sitting or standing. I just used it both ways on my archery antelope hunt.

Hello Steph,I bought the standard horse size for my quarter horse appendix and it fits great. Lots of room to adjust, I'd say true to size. Great bridle, especially for the cost!

I haven't put a side saddle on my shotgun yet, although I've been thinking about it. I guess I'd like to know the answer to the question too.

There isn't any rigging with the kit. You will have to make your own rigging out of a thick thread and I don't remember if there is a diagram showing where its supposed to go! Might be something on the box! You might Google USS Missouri and maybe you can get information of the rigging in the pictures. Thread is a dust catcher and my recommendation is not to put any thread on the model, but personal preference is your choice!

Mount it under the saddle. You need to sand down the saddle's bottom and drill a hole thru the bridge under the saddle for pickup wire.

You can use the shoulder mount with the cage using the 1/4 20 screw from the shoulder brace to tighten onto the cage.
