When you feel balanced and in control you can head out on your own.
You should stay in the ring or arena or small fenced paddock until you
feel completely confident at all gaits. When you become very good at
riding bareback you might want to try riding out on trail. If you do
however, consider how you will get back on if you have to dismount.
Going up steep inclines can be a challenge without a saddle. Lean
forward to get your weight off of the horse's back and use handfuls of
mane to prevent sliding backwards. Whatever you do don't use the reins
for balance. That will confuse and hurt the horse.
