I too was wondering about the bareback question. Has anyone seen
anybody at a ride using NO saddle at all? Don't think I would try it
myself, but a long time ago I read of a man who rode the 100-milers
with all he needed in a fanny pack around his waist. No saddle, just a
halter/bridle.
Since I won't have a horse for awhile (and wouldn't buy a saddle
until I had the horse to fit it on) I appreciate the comments and info
gathered so far on different saddles. When the time comes to get one, I
will hopefully be better informed on everyone's opinoins of the various
saddles offered.

P.S. Thanks for all the input on the pants question. Great leads
so far! :)
