There needs to be some mention of bareback pads since they don't have a separate article. White Arabian mare ( talk) 15:19, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
I will park a few sources I can find (amongst all the promotional ads) below.
Article additions here:
A bareback pad can be used to make bareback riding more comfortable for both the rider and horse. The pad may also be used to help keep the rider's clothes clean. Bareback pads are commonly shaped like English saddle pads and are available in many colors and fabrics, most commonly felt, wool, or synthetic materials. [1] They are attached with a girths. Some have stirrups, although these are associated with a higher risk of injury if a fallen rider's foot is caught in the stirrup. Pads with stirrups may also injure the horse's back due to a lack of a tree. [2] Bareback pads are also popular with individuals who believe riding bareback creates a greater bond between horse and rider.
Bareback pads cannot be used as a substitute for a saddle and they can be prone to twisting around the barrel of the horse. Some instructors believe that a novice should never be allowed to go bareback until they have mastered riding with a saddle, and that bareback pads give a false sense of security; others feel that bareback is necessary to develop a new rider's balance, and the pads assist by keeping the rider from getting as sore as they would otherwise.
