Bareback Riding

I LOVE riding bareback. I usually do it to cool my horse down at the end of some of our rides. It helps with your balance to much and my horse is alot more responsive when riding barback. It really helps you bond with them and will totally change the way you ride in the saddle. I wasnt so sure about bareback riding nd then i started doing it and its changed my riding so much for the better. You can do anything on horseback that you do in the saddle it just takes practice and not doing more than your ready for. Its a little hard when you first start riding bareback but gets better and better. I do alot of bending and turning exercises itll help your balance and his responsiveness. Also my horse has a little bit higher withers and i just sit a little further back on him and its fine. i prefer not to use any kind of pad because they slip of SO easy and are actually dangerious sometime, If im gonna ride bareback id prefer nothing between me and the horse.
