Riding bareback is fairly easy except for you have ho saddle so you are less balanced. if you are a new beginner to riding you may want someone to lead you around but if you arent than you can go by yourself. if you are riding bareback and your horse is wearing a bridle it will help to hold onto the main as well as the reins. hold tight with your legs but not to tight as to make your horse go faster. if you are riding with only a halter tied into reins i wouldn't sugest trotting.

Balance, practice, and have strong leg muscles. I ride bareback almost every day, and have only fallen off once. :) Start off riding in a saddle with no stirrups to help with balance and leg strength, make sure you can walk/trot/canter with no stirrups before you try walk/trot/canter bareback.

Can you ride a horse bareback in a horse show?
Yes! there are special bareback classes in some shows. But dont show up to a jumping class without a saddle. some people think it is easier to ride a horse with a saddle its easier to stay on the horse. but i disagree i think it is easier to ride a horse bareback u dont have to mess with the saddle just put on the bridle swing your leg up and ride. But it takes a while to be able to ride. so dont try it right away me however have been riding since i was two. if u do ride a horse bareback you hold onto the horse with your legs and if you take a sharp turn you hold on to the horses mane. but when you do start riding bareback be careful you have no clue what will happen so be careful. I have years of experience so you people who cant ride that good dont try to do this with out a helmet.
