[@hannahlehnhoff9064]

I learned riding bareback so when I finally rode in a saddle (I was 2) I had very good balance! I prefer riding bareback over a saddle anyday.

[@Lumoskor]

I've been told riding bareback for over 45 mins is bad?

[@agatakaminska6858]

Haha xD So you're lucky! My mum has been riding bareback when she was younger (she learned riding herself on her uncle's draft horse. She had to look funny :D) and when she first time sat in the saddle, she didn't know what to do. She fell something about... 4 times at one lesson? xD Yup, and she's not riding now :C Kind of sad

[@victoriakitzman4434]

Same here!

[@helenhodge-croom9635]

They have pads specifically made for ridding bareback....I do NOT recamend the ones with stirrups on it since they are dangerous!! Just a regular bareback pad works fine....and it helps spread your weight off the spine( and your tail bone!)

[@lillys4873]

I procrastinate too much not really if you’re experienced. if you have good balance and can distribute you’re weight, you can ride for as long as you’d like : )

[@barrel.racing.sorrel7138]

Lol this is how first learned to ride (when I was 8) my trainer had me ride bareback and when I was able to walk, trot, canter (and post the trot at a bare back lol) and then I was able to ride in a saddle and omg it was so much more easy to ride in the saddle. Then i learned to jump and barrel race (now 14 I barrel race (competing) and jumping (for fun!)) Love your channel!

[@markclark4137]

that`s awesome!! I`ve been wanting to do barrel racing for so long!!At my old barn they did barrel racing, but my mom just had me do regular lessons. I`ve been riding since I was 2 since my parents used to own horses, but I never progressed past a trot until I was 12 so now that I`m a better rider(I`m almost 15)and I`ll be getting my first horse( We just moved to a 7 acre property so we finally have room for horses!!) hopefully sometime next year so I`ll be able to start barrel racing!! eventually I`ll start posting videos on youtube and get a channel started( my actual channel is Jaybirdeclipse and only has 1 video on it lol) what is your favorite part about barrel racing? What breed do you ride? I`m hoping for an appendix or a Quarter horse cross, but I`m not sure what I`mgetting yet... either way I`ll still have to help pay for him lol

[@skywagon2458]

I first learned to ride bareback. I feel like it does wonders for developing your center of balance and then once you get a saddle, it's just so much easier. I rarely fall off my horse as a result, and I often trail ride bareback or just do long gallops bareback. It's so much fun.

[@alexandraadams3569]

My pony and I were bareback pros. We barely ever used a saddle and were constantly on the go through trails, fields, water, you name it. I could never master getting on bareback, but we mastered a running dismount, haha. He was seriously my bestfriend.

[@saraheyl9823]

also love this video! I've been riding my horse completely bareback in a halter (I'm teaching him to do tackless) and its amazing, it builds so much muscle and its so gentle and it just feels so free!

Hope you're okay, I tried Bareback for the first time yesterday and I loved it. Got the horse into a trot, he wanted to (but i wouldn't let him) Canter. I'm not a novice either, I can Trot, Canter and Gallop with and without stirrups.

This is a super old video but I just found this channel and you’ve already helped me out so much.

Your videos have helped so much with my positions etc Thanks so much!

i grew up riding bareback so I dont need this tutorial...Its just such a nice video I wanna keep watching!

[@nordesse]

The first time I rode my four year old bareback with a bridle was the first time I got bucked off! She took off as soon as I was on, and I was pretty soon lying in the grass. Then I got back on and she was fine for the rest of the ride lmao!

[@girld1ck]

I'm going to ride bareback for the first time ever next tuesday. I don't go on lessons with the pony (islandic breed) so I have to figure it out how to set there and not to fall. Whenever I'm going to raise gallop he raises gallop fine but if I don't give him gallop orders every step he will start trotting and thats hella fast trotting and I think I'm going to fall there 😂 Does anybody have any tips for not fall off and how to keep the horse galloping? He hasn't ever been really good trained and I'm the only one who gallops with him.

[@LyraLarkaII]

Your horse will give cues before dropping into a trot... give him a squeeze, another and if he still doesn't listen then give him a good kick. A sweetheart I used to ride, even with a saddle, would drop out of the canter and holy. Sometimes I'd have to give him a few massive kicks, I always felt like a jerk but he wasn't listening when I politely asked.

[@AlexisGraystorm]

Just keep your legs on him. I mean a tight grip, it will not only keep him going but it will keep you on too, but I wouldn’t depend on it.

[@girld1ck]

Update: Thank's for the tips guys! :) I didn't fall yayy. Oh and I didn't say that he's super sensitive to foot but the problem with galloping is that he isn't really trained as I mentioned. The trot was surpraisingly easy but gallop was kinda dizzy for me. When I got on him I automaticly squeced with my legs cause I was kinda scared and he raised a trot but I was able to stop it when I loosed my legs😂 He isn't used to bareback riding neither so I think that's why. Buuut I no longer ride him cause I moved to Spain. And the bareback ride was my last ride on him :(

[@girld1ck]

Student Laura Kobke I live in palma de mallorca. :) Yeah velancia is in the manner am I right?

[@miatreadwell1874]

Trash Can lucky your riding an Icelandic pony, I used to ride a pony with a really bony spine bareback was very difficult. You won’t be galloping your first time bareback.

[@itsmejo2468]

Ahh, this video is great and super informative, especially seeing you keep her balanced in the canter! I also love riding my horse bareback because you can feel everything and it forces you to balance. I am still working on not getting in the way of my horse's movement while cantering bareback :) P.S. I have the same riding pants and I love them !

[@catbus7824]

I have tried to mount my horse bareback, and he pins his ears, bites, moves away quickly. ya. he hates it. so I am lazy and always mount with the mounting block, but I will try to work on his behavior. you guys look great! :)

[@slaptail5287]

Make sure you aren't accidentally jerking his mouth/hitting him with your leg on the way up, or landing hard on his back or you could make him sour when he is mounted. Does he do the same thing with a saddle on when you mount from the block? If he doesn't, he may be uncomfortable.

[@catbus7824]

No, I have not even gotten to getting up on his back bareback from the ground, all I have to do is make a little jumping motion and put weight through my hands on his back and he basically says "NOPE!" and no, not really, he will try to walk away from the block and sometimes he will pin his ears slightly when I mount from the block. When I have had behavior issues with this horse, he works better bareback, sometimes with a halter tied around instead of a bridle. Thank you for your advice! :)

[@helenhodge-croom9635]

D ont feel bad ...my horse is too tall for me to swing on!! He's 16hh and I have to use the trailer fender to mount him!!! He is a sweety though and will stand there no matter what you do to him( lay over backwards and flip off the other side....litterall flip under him like a hula hoop.....my n eices and nephew use him as!a slide!!! They climb on from the trailer and slid off his butt! He just stands there. No halter or anything U ntill he's done n will take one step away so they can't get on again😂😂😂)

[@kateyahanda3296]

I love your videos. They're funny but also educational and you're hilarious. keep making awesome videos

[@_gyuuhi6648]

I love doing bareback crossrails! Another thing is that I do crossrails on a flat area right at the bottom of a grassy hill, so it's super fun to canter up the hill right after the jump! Just be careful not to slip down your horse's back!

[@-ix-3152]

I love the tips and the reminder to always wear a helmate and be safe because accidents do happen I was riding my Arabian that I trained and have completed on for five years and he spooked and stopped dead in his tracks and jumped sideways i went the other way and landed on my head. After going to the doctor it was confirmed that I had a concussion. We are all good now and are back to normal but freak accidents absolutely do happen.

[@robertholitik5729]

You are the best KZbinr ever, that was amazing and you are very acrobatic. I could even do that, maybe.

[@daizul5698]

Something I've noticed is that most saddles have a higher cantle, which help you move with the horse better and makes it easier. When riding bareback, you don't have that and have to move yourself with the horse more, and a low cantle help you get adjusted to that, since it is shaped more like the horses back. I've used saddles with very low cantles and ones with normal, high cantles, I prefer the higher cantle, but the lower one makes you move more, so if you're struggling to move with a horse bareback, try a saddle with a lower cantle if you have access to one.

[@AlySweetstreet]
