Any thing you can do with a saddle you can do without its sometimes just not as pretty! Although I prefer a saddle on one of my TB's due to his huge withers, if you are caught off balance your "pride" can end up bruised - LOL I rode the old horse bare back yesterday after I had finished schooling him took the bridle off put headcollar on and went for a jolly with him.

The insurance implications are just too much, its stopped us doing all sorts of things which would be great fun and good for the kids. ie two years ago at a small camp they allowed the kids to paddle and play in the river/ water complex on the CC course, and later questions were asked about the insurance etc!!! I ask you, it was a scorching day, but complaints were made about the 'safety'. I'm amazed that shows are brave enough to hold the classes, good for them if they do!
