Thanks for the demo Lovey❤
Caroline always performs will in your videos😂
Seriously, thanks for the video Caroline, such an important subject to consider.
Always what’s in the best interest of the horse.
I feel awful when I watch these videos. I learned to ride at a private home. I helped the ranch owner with heavy lifting and she would let me take her babies on a trail ride. None of the kids were even given a saddle or bareback pad the first many rides. She insisted that if we learn bareback we will become skilled more quickly than others and never use a saddle as a crutch. She was right, yes, I did learn pretty quickly. When I think back to some of the kids with less balance and coordination I feel awful for the horses. I had a friend who bounced around even on the "bombproof boss mare" Appaloosa. Hope we didnt hurt them too much... Luckily the trails were short and we were usually only out for 45 minutes or so. I wonder though, if the horse is significantly overweight that has to hurt less when kids are bouncing, right? Oh please say right...
I tried to order a bareback pad from your website (MacPherson) the link didnt work, did they go out of business? Would love to support
Hi Danielle and Welcome! Alan MacPherson passed away the other year and it looks like the company has taken down access to their products www.mcpcustomleather.com/macstore/pc/msg.asp?message=83, however, you might be able to email them? Please let me know how you make out, Caroline@taoofhorsemanship.com.
What’s the green bareback pad you use on
Zor?
Its the same one as this one, just a different color. It comes in many different beautiful colors!
@@_veronica_r Thanks for the reply. I realized that when I looked up this one. Didn’t know if she had to order from a different company or a different size for Zor and his bigness lol.
Hi! If you order through my website I get a commission! Thanks!
Dont you sit on the tendons or the spine then with your seat bones if you ride bareback? Dont mean to criticize, Im just trying to understand. Thank you!
Hi Kuhlkiwi and Welcome! Great question, thank you! In regards to our sit bones, everyone is made differently, wider hips, skinny, heavy, etc. It's important to feel where you're sit bones are on your horse and make sure you are not sitting one them. If I push my index finger down into the pad I use and recommend, I can feel that pressure underneath and so can my horse. That means you do not want your horse to feel any bones. While this pad is the best, super thick and flexible, your horse will still feel everything including your seat bones. However, the pressure will be minimal not to mention I teach you how to ride correctly and on your balance point so your seat bones, tail bone, pubic bone are not digging into your horse's back. Another reason why it's so important to NOT ride bareback, without a pad. Not only will your horse feel everything, they might be boney and you can slip easily.
Thanks for the answer! I was doing a bit of research online and as far as I understood does a saddle have a tree and it sits on the muscles because it has stirrups and that is too much pressure on one point of the back - that's why the bareback pad can have full contact with the back because you take away the stirrups and the pressure is more distrubuted over your seat? Did I get that right?
I personally really love bareback pads and have used them also for trail riding but there's always a person who criticizes them and says they are bad for the back because you sit on the spine. So I'm trying to figure out what to believe. Hard to get reliable information on that!
Thank you!
@@kuhlkiwi Hi Kuhlkiwi! Yes, you are correct about the tree and pad. The saddle was designed to keep the rider in place and distribute the weight. The tree was designed to sit on the muscles so it's really important we make sure the tree is wide enough to do so or it will hurt the horse's back. The 3 main reasons why horse's hollow out their back, are: the tree is pinching, the saddle is too narrow (gullet) and the rider is bouncing. Not all bareback pads are made well either. Most are flimsy, do not conform and have stirrups which makes them very dangerous. The pad I use and recommend is amazing and the best I've seen. In regards to people questioning the pad, make sure you are using a good pad, a thick one, flexible and one that conforms to their back. When people question the pad I use I let them know that I've developed thousands of horses using this pad and I've ridden them all and never had a sore back - but I am a really good rider and am balanced. In the end, most equipment is only as good as the rider and handler. Anyone can abuse equipment, use it the wrong way, which will compromise the horse. I also don't recommend riding in a bareback pad if you are not confident, don't have a safe horse and can't use an independent, balanced seat.
Thank you for the explanation, it's good to hear that you haven't had horses with a sore back from a bareback pad! I appreciate the information you are putting out there!
@@kuhlkiwi Thank you so much! I appreiate you too!
