'spesh nt as I nicked the joke off coffee and bagel :p
 
The saddle that came with my horse was very uncomfortable to ride in, especially in the 'daisy' area. It made me sit in a crappy position and riding for longer than half an hour was agony for the 'daisy'.

Went back to my treeless saddle and my daisy is a happy one!
 
No although I did years ago. I think it was because my saddle pushed me onto my fork, don't have a sore daisy now cos sit on my bum :D
 
I had this problem when I rode in a saddle that was too small for me I felt I was sat on the front of it. I went to an 18 inch problem solved!:)
 
No, no, no my daisy has never been sore from riding in any saddle or without a saddle. I have sampled a fair range of saddles as well ranging from 15'' bates, barnsbys and thorowgoods to my 17'' jeffries and albion and all sorts inbetween. Never had a single saddle give me a sore daisy!

Quite socked at the ammount of sore daisys on here, I'm struggling to see how a saddle could make your daisy sore, I've ridden in some saddles that were that bad for me that I couldnt rise to the trot but it never gave me a sore daisy. Can see that a high withered horse might not be very comfy bareback, thankfully mines only got little withers :D.
 
Stubben = daisy hell; all others fine.

Does daisy come from the French 'fleur' which is a nickname for one's ahem lady garden?

BTW 1st class Alan what the heck are you doing on this thread?
 
You guys are all hilarious!

Iv ridden and owned horses for over 20 years and have never had this issue so don't think its my position. Il b interested to hear what my saddle fitter says tomorrow. Il also be sure to ask for a short trial period on any new (well itl be 2nd hand) saddle that fits my lad.
 
I've never had that problem either, in decades of riding. But I do have a good amount of padding on my backside and thunder thighs! If a saddle hurts me its never around the daisy area! I think the saddles are too small, as someone else said!
 
Have never had this issue except for cycling, when it happens all the time.

My OH gave up attempting to learn to ride very early on, however, citing discomfort to his meat and two veg.
 
This is a hot endurance topic :D

Knickers, knickers, knickers.:)

Cotton and mind where the seams sit. :eek:

I know some who swear by thongs, but I'm not that brave. ;)

Otherwise maybe that saddle just 'ain't for you.
 
Would going commando help or hinder this particular issue?

Not that I even have the issue, I'm just intrigued and a little saddened by all these sorrowful daisies out there :(

My only issue seems to be on my saddle, when I am wearing a sanitary towel! :(
 
I wonder if it would stain the saddle permanently? Imagine the ad on eBay 'excellent condition, except for slight discolouration from a dripping daisy'

uuuuuurgg... I imagine there'd be simiar discolouration after excessive piercing grinding too :eek:
 
This thread is fab, can't stop laughing :-)
And I thought it was only me ;-) it can't just be too small saddle as my saddle is too big for me and sometimes causes the problem-I had always put it down to underwear and jods that pull down slightly so move around too much! And on that point does anyone have ideas of a good make of jods for someone with long legs (inside leg 34") and a short body? Size 8-10? Am fed up of rolling all the waists down and they still keep my boobs warm ;-)
 
Hmm, 'cheap due to scratches from faulty foof adornments' 'pommel aesthetically damaged due to chaffing of pierced punani'. 'only for sale due to flap friction'

I am long legged (33") and short bodied, and high waisted. Most jods I have tried make me look like Simon Cowell! :mad: Same with normal clothes too - skirts, trousers etc.

I also think that saddles being too big (as in my case) can cause the problem too, as I find I feel like I am sliding forwards when I am schooling.
 
I had one riding lesson where the instuctor had me riding with very long stirrups and my pelvis tilted so far forward that I was riding on my daisy, very uncomfortable.

Ah yes, this is common, especially if your hip flexors are tight!

This thread is truly hilarious!

Well, try being taught in the same manner and then have the horse throw a fit at meeting another lunge lesson on the apex of big circles in the school - putting in a buck so big it threw me out of the saddle to the length on the leathers where they then pulled me back down to land........ on the pommel - with my "male areas" first. Very lucky I don't speak in a high voice as this little escaped broke the tree! Though I did walk like a duck for a while.

Nope, my last saddle was a 16.5 inch ideal. Happy daisy.

17 inch L & R sylvan and standard seated reactor panels. Very unhappy daisy (and OH ;) the frustrating personal life is the result not cause of saddle problems, lol). For me, its definitely the way I'm put together and saddles which come up high at the front.
