There's also these that I've found, but judging by the price I'm guessing their garbage? Anyone have experience with them?

I've never ridden in them so take this with a grain of salt. But I did ride in a bareback pad with stirrups and found it to be very dangerous because the "saddle" can roll.

Maybe a breast collar would prevent that. But I personally would be scared to ride with stirrups in something without a rigid tree. At least part of a rigid tree (like a Bob Marshall) would be a requirement for me. But they must work for some folks because they keep selling them.

 

That's why I was looking at the soft saddles. While they don't have rigid trees, they are much more firm than just a sheet of fabric.
I realize how dangerous stirrupped bareback pads can be and won't be getting one of those - but was hoping to get some reviews on soft saddles to see if those are safer or do a better job at distributing the weight put in the stirrups? On a bareback pad all the stirrup pressure lands on one line on the horse's back, I was hoping someone who had one or used one could say if this was less extreme with that?

 

Anyone used one or have one? pros+cons?

 

Interesting question. I'll bump this up.
