I am an experienced rider who is NOT
beginning to ride. (Guess I should of stated that in my post). But thank you for
your reply. I appreciate it. I am a good rider who rides with experienced 50 and
100 mile mentors and we train pretty intensely. (No flames, my horse started
slowly last year and would easily do a 50 tomorrow). We just finally got to our
first ride this weekend cause of other circumstances.
There must be something about the actual
endurance ride with the adrenaline and having your horse "hotter" under you that
makes your body work 3 times harder and the fact that you do end up riding
faster than on training rides that makes you more sore and get rubbed more. I
have not gotten sores like this since I was younger and riding hunter/jumpers
and having my INSANE trainer take my stirrups away from us for 3 mos. prior to
show season.....and then making you do a sitting trot for what seems like HOURS
around that ring......but thats another story.....so no I'm NOT an
inexperienced rider. Do any of you get these sores during a ride and have found
something to help them? Anything you put there or something? Guess I'm not
wearing a shorter skirt to work for awhile......who cares, it was worth
it!!
