Enhance Connection With a Bareback Saddle Pad

Riding bareback is a fun activity to do with your horse. It strengthens your legs, seat, and it can improve your confidence. Some horses have a round barrel, making them comfortable to ride saddleless, while others have high withers and a narrow back making them less comfortable.

Bareback saddle pads are a great way to ride your horse bareback without feeling the discomfort of their spine pushing into you. They offer cushion but are relatively thin in comparison to the saddle. Bareback saddle pads also usually come with loops and metal rings to attach other tack to.
