    For all of you who ride bareback

    I have a 13.3hh, grey paint mare, 10 years old, and named Cloud Nine (Cloe).  She is a hard-fit for saddle, so we ride bareback and bitless (sometimes with a bit) I have videos of us!  And wanted to share, and for everyone else out there who rides bareback - please post videos too!

    I normally don't ride bareback, but did last Tuesday. I hadn't done so for over a year before that. It was fun except for the being sore part for a while afterwards.  I need to work on transitioning from loping to trotting, as I don't think I did that once without losing my balance and almost falling off.  Luckily I didn't fall off any.  I rode a horse who was pretty tall. 

    You seem to do pretty well bareback so I have been watching the videos to see if I can see how to improve myself if we ride bareback next time.
