If you need a seat belt to stay on a horse, you have no business riding one.

However handicapped riders doing therapeutic riding are frequently strapped in.

All of the above.

As someone who has taken my fair share of spills involving horses, you don't want to be on it when they roll. 
How you think of these things is way beyond me......maybe you need to get out more?

My anaesthetist for my last major op, post-bike crash, (a biker himself) surprised me when I asked why he wasn't giving the usual "bikes are bad" speech.

His response? "I'm a biker. I get to not hassle bikers. I could hassle horse riders, coz they have fewer upper limb fractures than bikers, but do much worse on lower limb and pelvic fractures. It's great - my wife rides horses, and she has to stay quiet whenever I go out on my bike. And I know it nearly kills her to do so" :)

can you get a mental image of the saddle slipping while you are belted on?

*shudder*

Of course, if you can't get your girth tight enough to avoid that happening (or have someone who can do it for you if you're a small child or disabled), you shouldn't be riding.

I really prefer bareback too.  It's a lot more comfortable, and I find I have better balance without so much leather under me.  Saddles give a false sense of security - if you can't balance you can't balance, and you're just as likely to fall out of a saddle as off a bare back.
