Seat saver for a bony bum

[Overgrown Pony]

I'm of the rather scrawny variety (size 8) and when I go for long hacks I tend to get a bit of a sore butt where my bones press on the saddle. I end up getting sore skin.

What are the best seat savers out there?

Chocolate cream eclairs!

Hahaah! That's my kind of talking

I've got a lovely sheepskin one and wont ride without it now!

Second the one from Feedmark - it is filled with memory foam and covered in thick suede - lasts ages and very comfy. Unfortunately, I have grown my own seat saver over the years, so no longer need one

I know exactly what you mean!! I get saddle sores too.... I have tried the Chocolate Eclaire one, but it just doesn't seem to work, and in the summer months, it melts all over the saddle... ha ha!!
I might look into getting one of those Feedmark ones, thanks.

Heather Moffat....I have had mine for 5 years, am a size 8 with good seat bones... I also use a Mark Todd accupressure pad on my pony's back and she loves it.

Try one of the gel seat savers, that should work, Oz

Kick on up to trot/canter and ride in a forward seat. Works for my skinny ass!

A heather moffett seat saver under a proper sheepskin saddle cover. Bliss. It's expensive (£40 for HM SS and about the same again for the proper sheepskin) but well worth it!
