[RC] fender rubbing side of horse - Pamela Freeman

Any help at all on this will be greatly appreciated..
Have finally found a saddle that fits my guy and me...
It is a Big Horn endurance with the cordura stirrup fenders.
Went on a condtitoning ride with a couple of friends and when we finished and untacked 
I noticed he had a pretty wicked rub on his side right where my leg is positioned.  We did a lot of
cantering.  This spot has threatened to show itself before but never as bad as this. At the Biltmore last year
I just gave the spot a healthy smearing with Desitin. It is not raw but the hair
is definately compromised.  It is only on one side.
I'm wondering if I change and use leather stirrup fenders will this help or biothane straps?
