One thing you might want to consider is wearing chaps- a good pair of chaps helps you stick to the saddle, leather to leather is less slippery than denim to leather. You can get suede chaps if you want. I like to ride in chinks which are a shorter length than full shotgun chaps.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-689872777639220238.post-74710006831430770972011-07-14T07:37:46.082-05:002011-07-14T07:37:46.082-05:00Koda clips the poles too, usually the last one, un...Koda clips the poles too, usually the last one, unless he is really tuned in.<br /><br />Looks are last on my list, it was the uncomfortable fit (for me) that wasn't a match. It was hard, but had some side padding on the swell that made me sit wide.<br /><br />I agree 100%, stickin' to the saddle is a good thing! The rough out made such a huge difference, caught me by surprise.

She always manages to clip at least one, no matter how far apart or how small they are.<br />My saddle is a rough out/fake suede and I kinda like it...being stuck like glue to the saddle is a good thing in my book. lol!<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.com
