Anyone elses saddle give them a sore daisy??

I feel a little bit left out - I ride big moving warmbloods, have never used a seatsaver or pair of padded knickers in my life, and I've never had a problem with my Lady Mary. :confused: She's a tough old broad though, maybe your daisies just need to man up?

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.

Oooffff!! Alan, I have had the experience on landing foof-first on a pommell........ thank you for reminding me of that day where my eyes literally streamed with water all day...... I don't think I wee'd properly for a few days afterwards... I can only imagine what state your fandangos were in.
 
Funniest thread ever....just what I needed as Im laying in my sick bed. Have to say I have never had a wilting daisy, foo-foo or flower from a horse saddle.....only from other riding ;-) Be interested to know saddle fitter's thoughts thou...maybe I should ask mine when he comes very soon.....??!!!
 
I've had this issue lately and have tried a fleece seatsaver, changing to a smaller saddle (fits me and the horse better but still leads to a sore area) and Equetech soft seat granny knickers.

The granny knickers do not have a 'soft seat' but padding that is like a flat piece of card board that ruches up when one tries to walk normally. It is better when astride the horse as the legs aren't together then squishing up the padding, but once dismounted and walking normally, the padding all squishes together again and is a tad uncomfortable and weird.

Next I'm going to try to remember to sit on my seat bones, plus when I'm feeling a bit more flush, I'm going to invest in some seamless riding tights / endurance tights, instead of jods with the razor blade seam up the middle. :mad:

:D
 
Jods with razer blade seams should be BANNED! Every time I go jodhpur shopping, I spend most of the time examining the crotches :eek: (embarrassing for my friends) I will not entertain any jods with the seam - only nice comfy flat seams for me ;)

I think calloused up might be more accurate :eek::p

I think each lady's individual conformation of said daisy has a lot to answer for as well - you only have to look at that wall of daisies embarrassing bodies did to see there are some that would be more prone to problems than others.
 
Don't you dare call my daisy callous, TT :eek:

My daisy is as caring and kindly as they come.

come *sniggers* :D
 
Just don't ever think that a combination of suede seatsaver and sticky bum johds will help - it doesn't. I tried that combination for a days hunting and the johds stuck to the saddle, but my bum did not, resulting on some horrendous friction burns. Forgetting to change out of lacy pants had a similar cheesegrater effect.

I too have a permanatly calloused bum. I have also drawn blood riding bareback before - my horse's spine seems to slot between my bum cheeks perfectly for added agony.

We are very badly designed for riding really!

In truth, I don't think I ever experienced .... how shall we say? ..... a full bodied connection - at least not while adult (the end of the leathers thing happened when I was about 40 ) however; as a child - fairly big gangily eleven year old say - about the age when the school nurse visits and lays very cold hands on young boys and says "cough, please." I did a sort of slow motion over the handlebars rotational fall of my bike but didn't fall forward - I went straight down the crossbar and hit the stem with my.......erm.... development areas!!!

I'd taken a little detour out into some long grass to overtake two dawdling women pushing prams and hit a concrete post laying in the undergrowth - they were quite concerned at my plight as I threw up with the pain.

Funny thread eh? - Mrs FirstClass & I have always had rescue cats but bought our first kitten last year - picked the same one out of seven and chose the name - Daisy, I've just been up to the house for lunch where Mrs was talking and Daisy was miaowing back ( burn her!) I'm tempted to say my wife's pussy is called Daisy but for the sake of good manners........
 
My horse is called daisy... Brings an all new perspective to this thread...
I have a t4, ride in jeans... Big knickers, small knickers.. None at all doesn't bother my foo.
Just a thought.. Rather personal tho, I shave my lady bits... Maybe its the hair that's chaffing??

I suppose we'll be having a beaver thread next! Keeping to the comical theme - ( for those that don't know ) I have several young lads as staff and run a landscaping and gardening firm and several large properties we do have topiary features such as:- http://www.bing.com/images/search?q...67C1C67F196EDA338B4A0B3E3D70&selectedIndex=58

Last year, I heard one lad yell across the garden "where's the Guv'nor?" "Out the front trimming the lady's bush!" I get all the best jobs.

As an aside here - how many of you got the Wilkinson Sword ad last year - Mrs FirstClass reckons it was all in my mind! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgtMskfX8iw

Cos they have bigger......petals? :cool:

Calloused daisy?! :eek: A friend of mine was circumcised: he said he could smack it against a wall (why would you do that?!) and not feel a thing. :eek: :eek:
 
I only have a sore daisy when I ride in one particular saddle ... oh hate those days! Granny pants are always a must, but for extra daisy protection I have worn a sanitary towel, and even once wore cycling shorts, under the jodhs- which I recommend DO NOT let too many people see... can have the look of wearing a nappy I think! But alls good for the Daisy!

On a more serious note, make sure your daisy isn't suffering from any form of thrush or STD, or if you have just had a baby, don't ride too soon! - ouchie even more..

And don't perch too far forward, let your ass do more 'talking'!:eek::eek:
 
This better make it into the most talked about list this week!
Never had sore lady parts. Got a sore butt from a saddle were you could feel the tree through the seat's leather though. Maybe padding of allsorts is the answer?

But it's the padding that gives me the problem! :eek::mad:
I only get a daisy problem when I am using a sanitary towel monthly! Other than that, no problems with the foof at all...!:cool:
 
Can we link this to the epicy mooncup thread now then? Maybe that's the solution to your issue, moomin!
 
I was taught a song by my Grandmother which started

"Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do...... "

Don't think she rode though.

Maybe those with serious chafing should think about 'Driving Miss Daisy' instead ?!!

I'm half crazy - all for the love of you,
It won't be a fancy marriage - for havn't got a carriage -
but you'll look sweet - on theeeer back seat - of a bicylce made for two!

Funny thing is - although this was a very popular music hall song - I only hear it in my head sung by HAL the computer in the film 2001!

BTW there was another music hall song with the chorus - "bompsadaisy" - the mind boggles what you lot will make of that!
