[RC] Comfort issues on long rides - Ed Kilpatrick

ok,guys,  angie said it in a pretty nice way, but let me say it again, a bit more bluntly.   if you are getting rubbed raw, and getting that sore from riding, you just arent riding right.  if you bounce around a lot in the saddle, arms and legs flailing away, try to grip with your knees, etc., then you will have problems.  you should be relaxed and comfortable in the saddle, moving easily with the motion of your horse, regardless of the speed. and also, like angie said, you might want to get someone to watch you ride to see what you are doing wrong. you might think there is nothing wrong with the way you ride, but someone else can see what's going on.  that is the likely culprit, rather than an equipment problem.
