BareBack Barrels q: is it easier to lope bareback?? im afraid to try

Is it easier to ride bareback loping than trotting im major scared to do it!!!

Just last weekend i went to this thing to raise money and i rode bareback with dakota for the first time he completly messed up and so did i but it was true team work. besides if we didnt mess up I wouldnt be going to the other trainer to learn the techniqu (however yuopu spell that)
