"We don't need no stinking saddles!" Bareback riding is not for wimps, that some awesome riding on display. In my youth we rode Shetland ponies bareback for two reasons, first we could get on without a ladder and second carrying a saddle to the pasture was too much work. Those were the days.
Fast forward multiple decades - even trail riding on old nags with saddles and help mounting has this old nag sore for days!
K.... I know you must have heard or seen the Suicide Race, at Omak WA. That one is pretty intense too. No real skill, just going down a hill(cliff). Pretty much shamed by animal rights activists, for cruelty to animals. BTW: I signed you up for this years event! Yeeeee Hawwww.
Horse Racing - Indian Style.
This looks like so much fun!
No saddle, a thousand pounds of horse running full tilt. Yeah, now that is real fun...I love it.
