Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] Saddles and more and more - Stephanie E Caldwell

Oh, and boots (for horses) -I have some neoprene
running boots that I used to use when I was proving
that pasos could barrel race...would these be good
to use on a LD ride?

I do not own anything neoprene because of heat build
up... My mare got major heat burns on her front legs
from wearing Professionals Choice Sport boots while
injured in her stall. I now have Ortho Equine (Martha
Josey's Company) that are truly breathable. The
difference is amazing and apparent. When Star tore her
tendon and she was booted/wrapped 24 hours a day her
legs sweated under the Pro Choice, they got fungus,
they were awful. The Ortho Equines had very little
sweat, no fungus, and no heat burns. 

Do I have to buy those tights that everyone wears???
I have some degree of thunder thighs and am not in a
big hurry to show them off in a set of riding 
tights!

Although I don't compete and just go to rides for fun
and to scribe and learn right now the only place I
will show myself in tights is at an endurance race.
They make great pajamas, and they work well for
layering in the winter time (it's awful to have to put
on cold pants on cold skin on a cold morning in a cold
tent...). Endurance people are different, they don't
judge on looks. I've seen very few riders in anything
other than tights, and no one gets strange looks,
stares, or anything!
