I do wear half chaps, and I still have the rubbing. After 50 miles, and on multidays, it can get rather uncomfortable, to say the least. It can actually hurt to walk.

I used to have a pair of stirrup leather covers...wonder what I did with them. :)

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.

Sarena didn't say in her post, but her rubs are on the shin where the stirrup leathers come down.

I have the same issue, and it can be rather painful.

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!

 

Thanks,

Sarena
