[RC] Knee galls and etc - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== This points out that ANY change of ANY component,including the rider's clothing and shoes,,affects EVERYTHING else.And some of this stuff is simply unquantifiable.How about ditching those stirrup leathers on that saddle,in favor of some different type?I am against the idea of piling up layers of any material and thus more protrusion/thickness on top of rub/gall problems.Whatever you do,be creative;don't hesitate to modify any saddle on the assumption that the maker made it that way for some good reason.They didn't,generally.Is the rigging lumpy under that flap? Get rid of it!I use the VERY light slick baggy nylon chaps made for bird hunters,over light khaki pants;wouldn't even consider the heavy nylon/cordura types.Tights are NOT an option in my horse culture,trust me.(You gotta give the devil his due.) ===========================================================Of course things aren't perfect, perfect doesn't exist on this earth. Doesn't mean we won't go on trying to get better at what we do. Besides, if everything was perfect today, what would you do tomorrow? Slamming each other doesn't get anything done. ~ Dot Wiggins ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
