Re: [RC] What do I need - Kristen A FisherI have really liked the Carousel because you can get padding in the crotch area so you can go commando. Alas, the Carousels have been on back order for 3++ weeks, so I had to improvise with some Irideons. I REALLY like them. They lack the padding, but are a great fabric and very comfy. Also I have found you can still get rubs from even the best tights, and I do have to put my vote in for Body Glide.

I was perfectly comfortable training in jeans, never had a rub. I was begining to wonder what all the fuss was. Then I did my marathon ride three weeks ago, where I got lost in the woods trying to get to a ride (5 miles through the forest) where I was supposed to be leading a group. I ended up gaiting/cantering close to 15 miles in just under 2 hours (VERY fast for us in the florida heat right now), then riding another 2 hours at a walk/slow gait, then riding home at the same speed (didn't get lost this time...sigh). And got off my horse to some nasty seam rubs from my jeans and (ahem...) undies. Needless to say, my trip home from the barn did involve one stop at the walgreens for desitin, and I had to dig my old riding pants out of the bottom of my drawer. Now, I am feeling the need to find myself some good riding pants for endurance. Suggestions??? I'm in hot/humid florida, so we are thinking cool... I'll worry about the colder months when January roles around. *grin* Juli and Alpine (who felt fine...if a bit on the dehydrated side, cause I don't care how much they drink, if you ride them that far in 90 degree florida heat, they dehydrate some) ============================================================ Prudence and focus will carry you a long way on a horse. ~ Frank Solano ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
