    [RC] Oh, my legs are raw, any suggestions - Laurie Durgin


    (Can you tell our computer was down a while,now that i went thru the 646 messages I can keep up.
    newest problem. . .
    this is the 3rd time after taking longer rides 2 1/2 hours, that i notice my legs right above my paddock boots inthe  inside are red and swollen and raw for a couple days. I wore breeches, 2 different pairs.I thought it might have been the first pair I wore twice, because they have a rubber band to grip your socks I guess and keep them from riding up. So I switched to the second pair, which doesn't have that kind of band. Same thing. I wear suede half chaps(riding in them 3 years now). I do have a new saddle an Ausssie longreach endurance. It is rigged like an english saddle, but withpoleys. I have 4" leathers on it with fake fleece covers I made for it. They are rigged english style. I do have sensitive skin and bruise easily, so I have always had to wear at least halfchaps.I do have tall boots and full chaps which I may try next.
     
    Any suggestions will help, else I''ll have to heal 2 ride 1 day.  Laurie and Rascal
