I have an International, too, and I wear half-chaps. No
rubs. I do have a problem with the twist, however. It is too narrow for me and
it rubs "there." Ouch! I haven't solved this problem yet. Not sure whether a
saddle cover would work. Basically, the twist is too narrow and I'm not sure a
saddle cover would correct this.
hmmmm..... Astral glide, copious amounts on the affected area

I have an Specialized Saddle that is an International. When
I ride...I get Friction rubs on my leg. I was wondering if, I could find a
solution from anyone! The stirrup leathers are thick and wide...not slender
like an Wentic Dressage saddle-the buckles also cause a problem. What can I
do? I have heard that others have had this problem also with the International
specialized saddle...any suggestions...anyone? I will take anything and try
anything to not have my leg in pain from an Friction Rub!
