When I was young I went horseback riding in the Middle East, and while it was a memorable experience, it was not the most pleasurable. They don’t believe in using English saddles, or any saddles at all sometimes! They merely placed a blanket over the horse’s back for you to sit on. If I had realized then that it would be so painful, I might have thought twice about taking that trip. If you’re looking for a great riding experience, I recommend using a saddle, even if you think you do not want one.
