Re: [RC] Knee galls - sharon1359What about "slick tights" (nylon/spandex with no kneegrip) that have padding in the knee area? -Sharon K. Quoting heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Which wintec saddle do you have? My wintec Pro Endurance is set up so that the webbers can be hung either under or over the skirt. If hung under, it might eliminate the knee chafe. Breeches with knee patches might help as well. Also try large quanities of talcum powed or baby powder.I also have the Pro Endurance, but I'm already fighting the issue of getting stirrups/feet far enough forward on extreme downhills. I'm also REALLLLY short, so clearance is an issue with the stirrups. Not sure that one will be possible to try for me because of those factors, but it is a good idea, and I think you're right--it would probably eliminate the chafe.

Go for it, you never know what you'll accomplish with that "saddle horse" or "trail horse" of YOURS! ~ Darlene Anderson - DPD Endurance ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ============================================================ Arabians were bred for years primarily as a war horse and those requirements are similar to what we do today with endurance riding. ~ Homer Saferwiffle ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
