In American English, that is called "bareback riding," so perhaps "horseback riding" implies the difference between riding with or without a saddle. The first horse races I went to, at a county fair back in the 50s, did not have the jockeys sitting on the horses' backs, but rather in sulkies drawn behind the horses.
