[RC] Truman's right again. - rides2far@xxxxxxxxrecently learned that a rigging that would drive me crazy on my horse(deep chest,very flat-sided) didn't bother me at all when on my buddy's round barrel shaped horse.One would think the fatter horse >>>would make the rigging more bothersome,not less.But,it was just the opposite. Some of this stuff is just unquantifiable! When I rode Bruce's horse with their saddle I started having trouble with the rigging at about 25 miles. It was really bruising my inner thigh just above the knee. Wasn't sure if it was the tights, the seam on the saddle cover or the ring but it turned out to be the ring on the rigging. (I apologize to anyone who had to witness me changing tights in the middle of the check. Hey, I *tried* to use what cover there was but there's not much underbrush out there!!!) I ended up moving my stirrups up one notch and NO more problem. It was as if the rigging was no longer even there. It's weird that such a tiny change would help so much but if you don't want to switch horses during a ride and changing your tights in public doesn't help, it's something to try.
