    > Well, Me, I LOVE riding bareback. 
    
    I, too, learned to ride bareback as a small child.  I
    don't ride bareback too often anymore but may do so
    just to keep my skills up.
    
    I let a young man ride my horse bareback (this has
    been 15+ years ago) and my horse had a sore back
    later.  Now...I can't say for sure what sored his back
    but I thought at the time it was due to being ridden
    bareback.  Has anyone else had this happen?
    
    Speaking of balance...I've gained a LOT of balance
    since doing a lot of riding sidesaddle.  You've got to
    maintain balance aside.  One of the most amazing
    things I've ever seen was a junior girl showing her
    Arab aside.  I don't remember which class but all
    riders, astride or aside, had to also show bareback in
    the style they were riding!!  This girl walked,
    trotted, cantered, sidepassed, sliding stop, & spin
    bareback aside!!  It was amazing!  Don't ask me how
    she did it but she made it look easy.
