Ridecamp: Re: [RC] "I can't see how bareback would help. I too amshort and have short legs and am also overweight. "

>>Ed : There are some of us who find that bareback riding produces extreme pain,
and acts as an excellent contraceptive.  We do not ride bareback under any
circumstances.>>

And the outcome of not having this natural contraceptive is .............? ;-))

Anyway, I have always thought that riding bareback is painful for the horse, that is, a horse without good muscling on his back.  Do your bum bones not dig into the horse's back and cause very small points of contact, almost like using thin rods to poke him in the back?

And you're right about the contraceptive, BTW!
