I hate the week before a ride. Unpacking, reorganizing, lists, washing, repacking, more lists, shopping, wondering what I may forget this time, etc. Gah!...
Good luck! And have a lovely time! A lesser woman would have thrown in the towel. Sometimes getting there is a whole hell of a lot harder than actually...
Hey Patti? Did you ever resolve your problem with your sadde/ pad? (where Ned was getting sore on 100s)? I'm suffering from loin rubs and wondered how you ...
Well Lucy, funny you should ask. I sent in my application to get a Reactor Panel VSD Summit on trial today, so ... I switched to a pure wool lined Skito for my...
... hope it works out for you. ... so it might have worked, if you hadn't over-tightened him? ... so shorter saddle, not putting pressure on his sore area? ......
... Josie's horse Cade has problems with loin rubs under his OF during the changing of coats...spring & fall. Melissa Crain gave us the tip to put baby powder...
I used to spray a little show sheen JUST where the rubbing was, and it seemed to help. Just don't spray under the whole saddle. That is not good. "slip sliding...
One more suggestion. We noticed Josie's horse's back was especially sore after a ride where she'd dismounted and mounted several times. After that we made a...
... I'm really wondering how much of this could be caused by that. I didn't think he was shedding, but rode one of the others this afternoon and she...
With luck, he'll take after Mama ... Just curious - what makes some horses more prone to rubbing problems? Is there a way to tell if they will have problems...
Baby powder? Hmmm...I may have to try this! The gelding I ride gets loin rubs from his BLANKET when he starts shedding in the spring. I haven't ridden much...
Crysta, Congratulations on your 2nd 100! I saw you get your award and looked for you in camp afterward, but you must have been schmoozing. Sinatra--the...
Well, I took pics of Roo's loin rub on Tuesday and then took pics again after our ride yesterday (I'd ridden him ~30+ miles between the two) and it doesn't...
My new guy is getting really raw in the girth area, I am trying leaving it looser for his comfort however any looser I may just slide under the belly. I had...

. I sprinkled it all over the girth and it worked ... Good! I was waiting for Josie to get home to ask her the question about gunking up on the back since...
Aloe Vera gel also seems to work, without the gumming up problem. Alison A. Farrin ________________________________ From: new100milers@yahoogroups.com...
... Ah well, Rusty, you best sell me that one as well. It must just be you and rubbing... ;-)) (Rusty sold me Roo last year. ...except he didn't rub with him)...
... Josie just nodded "no". I didn't think it did, though it seemed like it would. I would think baby powder & body glide would be a bad combination. My old...
... How bald was Josie's horse when you had to resort to this? ... Like I say, he's not sore - yet. I just worry that he'll become sore as the miles/hours add...
Okay, I know you all have been waiting for this. =) Beverly and Kim, it was nice to meet both of you. Congratulations Kim on your finish as well! Girl...
... He wasn't really very rubbed at all. It showed less than on my horses in the past but he was very sore to the touch after a ride. You could run your...
Next question -- what kind of baby powder? Ned has hypersensitive skin and I'm wondering if y'all used the cornstarch variety or the standard baby powder? ...
Chrysta, I loved your Mule Team story. It sounds like you had a great ride and did a fabulous job with your horse. I will forever owe you and your riding ...
Iam using a string girth. I do lift the legs out as well. He is young and was started in October, I was also wondering if some of this is his skin getting used...
