A Bare-back pad for a horse is a very thin saddle that is usually used for small ponies like shetlands. They are very compact and handy, and is just like a leather saddle, but instead they are usually made out of material. You can attach neck straps, cruppers and stirrup leathers to them.
Hope this information was useful to you :D

You mean a bareback pad? Personal choice.. I find it more comfy to ride with one. Depends on if the horse has bumpy gates.
No, of course not. Riding bareback or with a bareback pad gives you a personal feel with the horse. A good rider should only try riding without a saddle because it is very different than riding with a saddle. You need to learn to move with the horse when you ride bareback, there is only your legs to hold on with.
In Bonsall, California, there is a ranch called 'Rawhide Ranch". You don't ride with saddles there. You ride bareback, but with a saddle pad.
She is a versatile bareback rider.
Yes, of course. A saddle gives you grip when riding and has stirrups- an essential piece of tack, which support your feet when riding. sometimes you ride without a saddle(bareback riding), but it is not good to ride bareback very often, so yes, you will need a saddle!

Riding Bareback
no saddles just a bridle and relax and hold on with you're legs you can grab mane if you feel you are falling I already gallop bareback so I know the answer to this question! To add-on: Try to use a bareback pad if possible, it is more comfortable for you and the horse. Take it slow and allow yourself to go with the movements of the horse and not against them or you wil feel like you are on a dirt road in a car with no shocks. I love riding saddle or bareback, and I used to all the time in Tuscon, so I have gotten the hang of it. The first answer is even more important though. Have fun!
No, just your ability or talent affects bareback riding.

The term "bareback" refers to horseback riding. When one goes bareback it means that one is riding the horse without the use of a saddle and on the bare back of the horse.
