A few years ago, having no control over Cato the Hurricane whatsoever, I took
a year off to go into dressage training with Heather Bender, who's really
one of the country's top riders and a wonderful trainer. She had me wearing
half chaps to stablize my lower leg during lessons, but it helped "glue"
my leg where it was supposed to be during rides, too. I think full chaps
might get hot, but half chaps are great.
