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.

Nope, she’s done it right .
If you put the bridle on first , you’re doing it very wrong and you should for sure switch right away or an accident could happen.
They need to …
They need to explain these things better, and be more specific. Like when they are putting on the bridle explain the parts and how to properly buckle them and how much room to leave. For me, I would understand what I was doing, but for a begginer, this would not explain enough. I am not trying to be rude I’m giving constructive critisism.

why would you do that then someone would have to hold your horse when you saddle it. this is how i do it with my horses…we are never allowed to bridle unless our saddle, girth, and helmet are on or else someone will have to hold our horse while we get those things and that is more trouble
