I’ve tried a variety of things and combinations of
things:
Two-point trot for the entire
ride (my legs gave out)
Sheepskin saddle covers
Anti Monkey Butt powder
Diaper rash ointments
Padded tights
I ride a Sharon Saare saddle and had been told that my pains
were probably due to the saddle. I sure didn’t want to buy a new saddle
for my comfort when the saddle I have is such a good fit for my horse. I just discovered
last weekend that if I wear the padded Equissentials Gripbums and remove the
sheepskin saddle cover, I’m actually substantially more comfortable at
the end of a ride than when I had the cover.
I’ve always liked the Equissentials Gripbums, but now
I’m completely sold on their padded version of the tights. They’re
cool (lycra and cotton) and stretchy with a French Terry flat-seamed crotch
pad. (Healthy As A Horse is the only company carrying the padded Gripbums.)
I’ve been doing LD’s and have wanted to move up
to 50s. My horse is ready, but I didn’t know what I was going to do about
my surviving a longer distance. No problem now. I’m scouting out my first
50 now!
Less is more!
