I bought your Bareback pad last year and I’ve been using it for a year. My horse got sick and I started riding a horse in the barn that nobody rides because he bucks. I wondered if it was a saddle issue, so I tried my bareback saddle/pad on him. He loves it and he doesn’t buck. I feel secure in it and don’t use stirrups. He’s a draft cross so he’s very round and as long as my girth is tight it doesn’t slip when I mount. I love the pad.
