I don't ride bareback for several reasons. One, I'm 45 and my horses can't afford for me to get hurt, so yes, I need the security of a saddle. Two, unless you're riding for a very short amount of time, bareback offers no support for the horse from your seatbones. Even someone with a broad butt like me has seatbones that would dig into the horse.
