Riding bareback, then with saddle..wow!

TB4life · 02-25-2008, 10:33 AM

For the past few weeks I've been riding bareback..and I love it!
Well, today I decided to try and ride with my saddle, just to see if bareback has made a difference..and WOW!
I felt unbalenced in the saddle..I felt like I couldn't commuinicate right in the saddle..It took so much away from riding!
So after about a minute, I took off my saddle, and enjoyed the rest of my ride bareback

I LOOOVE riding bareback.

I ride bareback almost always, but not always or even sometimes, lol. So I didn't vote

I absolutely LOVE to ride bareback. It's a great way to really feel what your seat is doing and how the horse is moving under you.

I only ride sometimes as my horse has withers the size of mount everest... but, I do love it when I do.

I love bareback, however, with my fenceboard of a youngster I need the saddle to add a little more substance lol; otherwise OUCH!
