Bareback, But Better: Rediscovering the Ride

There’s something magical about riding bareback.
It’s the closest you’ll ever get to feeling a horse’s rhythm—every step, every breath, every tiny shift beneath you. It’s natural, connected, a little nostalgic… and, if we’re being honest, sometimes a little slippery.

The secret?
A breathable, non-slip microsuede surface that helps you stay centered and stable. It’s soft enough for comfort, grippy enough for security, and still lets you feel every warm, rounded movement of your horse’s back. The whole point of bareback riding is connection—and this fabric keeps that feeling alive.

But a bareback pad isn’t just for the rider.
It’s for the horse, too.

The underside is lined with plush Berber fleece, cushioning and distributing pressure so your horse’s spine gets the comfort it deserves. It’s soft, it’s supportive, and it turns a casual ride into a small luxury moment for your horse—like their own fluffy lounge chair, but with forward motion.

To complete the setup, there’s a matching fleece-covered adjustable girth that clips on easily and keeps everything snug. No wrestling with straps. No guessing. Just a quick, cozy secure fit on both sides.

And yes—it fits most horses with ease.
Swap the cinch for a regular neoprene one if you prefer, and it still works beautifully.

When the ride ends, caring for the pad is as simple as brushing off the dust and giving it a quick wipe. A gentle wash, air-dry, and it’s ready for your next wander around the fields or slow, thoughtful bareback session in the arena.

Bareback riding has always been about feeling free—
and now, it can feel comfortable too.
