Ditch The Saddle and Give Bareback Riding a Whirl

Colder weather is quickly approaching. With less daylight and chilly air, bareback riding is a great solution to riding year-round. Leave your bulky saddles in the tack room and grab a fleece or suede bareback pad. Your horse will appreciate your improved seat picked up from this type of riding. Easily feel your horse’s movement and experience better balance and coordination over time.

The Dura-Tech Pueblo Bareback Pad is stirrup-less for more freedom. It includes a nylon hand strap and fleece lined web girth with extra-long billet straps.

Some bareback pads like this Derby Originals offer stirrups for a more secure ride.

Trail riders enjoy the pocket and water bottle holder featured on the Best Friend Bareback Western Saddle Pad.

Choose from unique colors and patterns. The Showman Hair on Zebra Print Suede Bareback Pad is a fun pad in pink, blue, and green zebra.

Made from ThinLine material, the Thinline Comfort + Bareback Saddle Pad is one of many different textures that provide comfort to both the rider and horse.
