Boney bum!! Rider

[Mbronze]

As post says..

I have a beautiful and comfy Albion saddle, but i get really sore if i ride for more than an hour, anybody got any good suggestions i.e thicker jodphurs or a pad on the saddle??

I have a boney bum too, and i know exactly what you mean. In fact I used to have an Albion - and that was one of the worst ones for being uncomfortable! I found that a really good quality sheepskin seat saver was my saviour. Don't bother with the cheapy fleece ones - they don't make it any more comfortable. Definitely a nice thick sheepskin one!

I have moved over to treeless saddles now - sooooo much more comfy!!

No-one I know can understand why I HATE riding in Albions, all my friends love them but my bum is just too bony!! I have a Cottage Craft Merino sheepskin seat saver, it's really thick and really helps stop everything rubbing. Apparently the Heather Moffett ones are fab as well (but more expensive, my CC one was £20). I want a Wow saddle though, that would solve all my problems! Well it would help if I had a sound horse as well!

Heather Moffat Seat Saver! My ass is far from bony but I had a lot of pain with any saddle, the HM was a life (and bum) saver!

Well i cant afford another saddle and to be honest the saddle fits my mare brilliantly so will definetely look into the heather moffett seatsaver.
Thanks very much
