<<Does anyone know whether it is possible to ride a horse bareback, and without any reins? Do people do that?>> Depends on the horse. Some you can and some you can't. We have an Arabian dressage mare and in dressage you can't move your hands. It's all weight transfer and knee pressure. With cutting horses, they cut cattle from the herd, the rider is just along for the ride. Saddles mainly protect the horses back.

RE: Bareback sans reins. Apparently, the answer is yes. english.montrealplus.ca bareback riders do not use stirrups or reins and must rely on their own muscle power to control the horse and avoid being bucked off. A type of riding that requires a close rapport between horse and rider, bareback riding is not for the faint of heart.
