I have just taken on the schooling of a lovely ex racer. It's all going well (knock on wood!) so far but he is starting to develop a few rubs. His tack is clean and soft, he is clean and soft but we still have rein rubs on his neck and the browband and/headpiece junction is starting to rub as well. So what's the best option? Does fleece actually work on a paper skinned TB? Neoprene for the headpiece? He's a lovely boy and I want him to be comfortable!

Had this problem for ages with various horses and recently, after recommendation on here, started using talc on the rubs before riding and they have all nearly disappeared. I've tried everything and by far this is the best result I've found. I use the plain stuff from pharmacy rather than the perfumed stuff like john sons baby powder though.
