Out our way, when Charlie and I were going to work cows up on the Tiger Ridge, there were preliminaries to be done before we mounted up. We unloaded Doc and Jet from the trailer and tied them off on the side of the trailer. We then got out brushes and combs and curried them before laying the blanket flat and smooth on their backs. Then we got the saddle on, adjusted it so it fit snug and right - and then cinched them tight. We checked the hooves to make sure they were clear...
