    Wow! I've used a bareback saddle much like that sheepskin one. That was years ago when I used to go riding with a co-worker every Saturday afternoon.

    We got good enough to attempt a ride bareback and I remember us going full-gallop on a trail through the woods.

    To ride like that you have to grip the horse's sides with your legs. I could feel my mare's every breath, and her muscles rippling as she ran. I could tell she loved being free from the weight and stiffness of the big leather saddle.

    Usually, I'd be riding her, in the sense of being in command of her every movement. That day though, she was running free and I was literally just along for the ride.

    What a thrill!

    Thanks for bringing back that memory.

    well Irode a "clyde" a very fine "Budweiser Reject" by the name of cody I rode kilted, and bare back(although that could mean the same thing huh?) ....no need for a saddle as they are wide enough that falling off is kind hard to do!
    I didnt get pics this time ....next time though......watch out :mrgreen:
    Irish diplomacy: is telling a man to go to he)) in such a way that he looks forward to the trip!

    I know this is a serious thread, but I thought you might enjoy these ads. These have been seen before, but William Lawson's ads with kilted horsemen are hilarious:
