I've never ridden bareback before (... i really wanna try one day) and I was wondering what you all think of it. How does it feel?

I love it! Great workout for your legs, as well. Really helps working on your balance. But remember, don't use the reins for your balance, either! |

i love it, i mostly ride bareback all winter long because its much warmer then getting into a cold leather saddle, and i usually take a blankie with me too lol and wrap it around me and go for a trail ride!!

It depends on your horse I ride bareback on occasion and love it. Although my legs tend to be pretty sore the next day, it's really a good relaxer for me from working the horses undersaddle |

Used to ride that way frequently, best way to learn balance, and divorcing hands/body. You really feel every nuance of your horse, but sad to say I am older and fatter, and that really throws you off, especially if like me your weight gain is in thighs/rear. But being built like a tepee, I sit good in gale force winds, and don't tip over. But I really would like to again, maybe......
