RE: [RC] preventing soreness from stirrup leathers? - carolyn

I resolved this problem with a set of sheepskin covers and a pair of half chaps.  There are places where you can get half chaps custom made.  Make sure that you have a good set of leathers.  Good leathers will be soft and supple, not hard.  It may be that you have a cheap set of leathers.

I've had this issue as well and would be interested in some suggestions. I
can move mine also. I may just resort to fenders. I've got sheepskin on
them already and I can't wear halfchaps as I have short, fat calves and
nothing fits!
