Re: [RC] bareback allowed? - heidiOK, I scanned the AERC rulebook and did not see any rules barring riding without a saddle. I have a friend who is an awesome rider and rides mostly bareback. She is very interested in doing her first LD in a couple of months (to make sure her horse is ready -- probably already is though). So, can you ride without a saddle and barefoot at an AERC sanctioned ride? Indeed one can, and various people have done so over the years. I can think of two here in the NW who rode many miles bareback, and there have been others that have done an occasional ride that way. I can remember one fellow coming up to weigh for BC, holding just his halter rope. <g> A specific ride could have an additional rule that requires a saddle, but AERC does not go there.
