Rub marks after riding

[Snapshot2016]

After a lengthy ride out today my poor sensitive, fine skinned pally has a rub mark behind my legs he’s fully clipped and in that awkward stage in the year where the hairs not really growing, I feel absolutely dreadful and popped some silver honey cream on to soothe it straight away but wondered if there’s anything else that will encourage hair regrowth/soothe the area?

Other than the standard sudocream/manuka honey etc., a belly bend should stop that happening again in the future

I used some sudocrem when mine rubbed last year there

Where are the zips on your boots? I had a pair that started rubbing when the old boy was clipped- changed to a pair with a different zip placement and didn't have any more rubs.

I had a grey who did this. I used a bath towel under the saddle to protect him. It was only for a couple of weeks at coat change time.

It can be different boots, I rubbed mine when I rode without chaps so the end of the short boots were rubbing.

A little bit of show Sheen or similar on his sides before you ride or and old sheet cut to size between saddle cloth and saddle

We have this issue at the moment. Boot rubs, rein rubs, numnah rubs - everywhere appears rubbed.

I've been using mudaway as this creates a sheen effect. I've also used vaseline on the worst areas.

I had one that rubbed really easily when clipped, I used to spray his sides and the insides of my boots with coat sheen before riding, I'd stick a layer of vaseline on if I was riding with spurs. Also helped to keep my boots cleaned and well oiled so there was no friction from grease/dirt. When you clip next year leave a 'spur patch' and it should solve the problem.

Never even thought about coat sheen! and ill definitely leave a patch next year
