Is there any truth in this???????

Me and my friend either school or hack our tb's together early on a Saturday and tomorrow I am going to give schooling dizzy bareback a go anyway my friend's lovely mare has quite high withers and she just sent me text saying that a website has suggested that if you want to ride your high withered horse bareback a good idea might be to 'apply' some petroleum jelly prior to getting on true or not haha it has made my slightly but not quite boring friday night a bit more entertaining!
On the downside when she does ride bareback I don't know that I will be able to look at her with laughing!!!

I can't answer your question, but I'm just reeling at the fact that you know a horse who can text!

Haha I think padded underwear would be a better bet!

I know she is so clever she also loves a bit of HHO! You will find her mostly over on stable yard starting threads on finding out how she can squeeze more hay out of her penniless mum!

I take it you mean apply it to you not the horse . Yes it definitely does help protect things

that's the reason i have never ridden my horse bareback. never thought of using a bit of lubrication lol.....enjoy!

I think you would slide off if you applied it to the horse!

I can see sales of KY jelly rocketing and many befuddled pharmacy staff!

Depends where on the horse you applied it

You lot are nuts, is it something to do with being the weekend.
This thread has made me waste good wine spitting it over the keyboard.
Keep it up

A friend told me she was helping someone ride. The someone had applied Vaseline, which seeped onto the saddle. The friend had to clean the saddle. I nearly puked.
