Bareback riding can be so much fun! Not only is it quicker than tacking up, but it offers a close contact feel. While some riders choose to sit with nothing in-between them and the horse, many enjoy using a speciality pad. Bareback pads offer extra cushioning and support for both the horse and rider.
