Bareback pad or not?

I dont kno wwhether i should use a bareback pad or not. its not like my horse is uncomfortable to ride, i just dont want to hurt his back!

I prefer riding bareback bareback, without a saddle pad! You wont hurt your horses back ! Bareback riding is a blast! You can feel your horses movement so much better! Does your horse know how to bareback?

Yeah, he knows how and everything, its just that he's built kinda funny...he's really narrow and small. I rode bareback a while ago and the only problem we had was at the trot. i might try with a bareback pad next time!

Your pony will be fine without a saddle pad. I can see why you want to use a saddle pad but here is a bit of advie and I don't mean to be cheeky I f you ride with a saddle pad to keep your ballance then you will never have balance you will fall of sometimes but only the best riders fall off and that's how you learn I have fallen off 12 times!!!!!!!
