i got my bareback saddle a few months ago and am in love!!! I ride my horse bareback everywhere and all the time, before I got my saddle there was the issue of pain in my knees and seat from not having any cushion on long rides. and of course the issue of almost sliding down my horses back on super steep inclines! I went on a trail ride yesterday for a couple of hours and it felt fantastic! I love everything about it, and i know my horse does as well 🙂 Thank you!!!!
