Oh yes I did...

And I wish I had the pictures to prove it...

For the first time in probably 15 years I rode bareback last night. And I discovered 2 very important things...

1. I am a better rider than I thought. Flash did a fairly big spook at the trot and I didn't come off. Yay!!

2. I need a big, fat quarter horse whose spine is nowhere to be found under all the fat. Flash is a bony horse. He's in excellent weight, but even so, he's still a bony little bastard. Ouch!!

But, while the weather keeps my riding indoors, I think I will continue to ride bareback. It's a good challenge...
