Meaning of "barebacked" in English

The term "barebacked" refers to riding a horse without a saddle, where the rider sits directly on the horse's back. This method of riding can be challenging because it requires more balance and intimate communication between horse and rider, as there is less support and separation than when using a saddle. It is often associated with skilled riders and traditional or indigenous practices where riding horses without saddles is common. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe situations that are unprotected or unassisted.
