Bareback Pads and Their Benefits
Riding bareback can be an incredible experience, but one that can leave your seat a bit sore and dirty. This is where a bareback pad is useful.
Beyond the fun, riding with a bareback pad can be a method of establishing a closer bond between horse and rider. Bareback pad riding allows the rider to feel all the movements of their horse’s back. All those terms riders have learned, like "rounding the horse’s back" take on new meaning when they can really feel the movement.
A more natural riding experience, bareback pads can help the rider with balance and provide a casual, more comfortable ride. Some riders say that riding bareback has helped give them a better seat and therefore made them a better rider. All bareback pads have some form of anti-slip seat to help the rider keep balance.
