No, just your ability or talent affects bareback riding.
Everybody who rides just calls it bareback. But if you dont ride it's bareback riding. (improving answer) if you look in the dictionary, it is actually bareback (one word) and as the person before me, most just call it bareback well for short its is called bare back riding. bare horse back riding is just the longer name for it
Riding Bareback
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.

Bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, and bull riding
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.
Bareback bronc riding and saddle bronc riding. But it used to be 10 seconds for saddle bronc riding
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!
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.
I have never heard of an entire show devoted to bareback riding. There are some clubs that will include a few bareback classes. If you know of some local horse clubs in your area that sponser shows contact them for a show premium. Or contact the AHSA (American Horse Show Assoc.) and get some info on what shows will be in your neck of the woods.
