Take the saddle off. I never used one riding fence, just bags for the tools . No ridge on the bare back. I took a couple old saddle belts and made stirrups to make the ride better. It worked good, just dont put the foot in there to get up on the horse <G> I found that out ( Plop) right on the ground, so you gotta get up like bare back.
