Is it really safe? Professionals in the industry can surely risk it, but for others, can we be sure it is safe?
For starters, without a saddle, where do the stirrups go? I'm no equestrian but it can't be good for the horse. |

It is very safe; but you need to be under 5'4" |

Oh right, horse-riding, phew.
I thought this was going to be a thread about wearing sunscreen on your back if you take your shirt off while while digging the garden, now the summer's nearly here...
Always wear protection folks!!

It isn't safe (not if you're a fatty like me anyway), the whole point of the saddle is to distribute the weight so that you don't hurt poor horsey's back.
And as for trotting...don't even get me started. My thigh muscles are good but I can't do it for longer than 10mins without the muscles locking up.
I'm just glad I don't have balls to get trapped between me and the horse during all that bouncing.
It still hurts if you're on a horse that stops suddenly during a trot or canter and your kebab lands on their [insert correct name for that really hard bit at the base of their mane/shoulders...].
