bareback riding

Mounting without tack

Bareback riding is riding a horse without a saddle, sitting directly on the animal's back.

In rodeo, bareback riding is a competitive event where riders must stay mounted on a bucking bronco for eight seconds while holding a rigging with one hand.

The term *bareback* also describes sex without a condom, especially among gay men: He said he only does bareback.
