Sore botty x

[pillion]

Now - am I going soft, or is infact my bottom/body gone soft?

I have ridden all my life, and hack out at least 1 a week, for a min of 2hrs, school 4-5 times a week, 30 mins - 1hr, now saddle is the same, horse is the same (last 6 years), but recently my botty has become so sore

Now am considering some padded undies, but wondered if anyone on here has some suggestions, recommendations?

This might be an age thing, but dont want to call all riders in the higher age bracket owners of soft bottoms x mmmmmmm

well I get blisters on mine and always have done. I am 26. There is a whole post somewhere on here (much of which is hilarious) about how to deal with similar issues. I will go and see if I can find it for you!

tada!

Thats me!!
And Im still suffering I decided in the end I had to get a new saddle I got the saddle and was cured but then the new saddle didnt fit and Im still waiting for a replacement. I havent a clue why it started to happen, same horse, same saddle etc etc.
All I can suggest is a pot of Sudacreme, baby talc and a seat saver.

I'm 57, and 3.5 to 4 hour ride will give me sore bum if lots of walking, but not to the point of being a problem, more trotting and cantering less sore bum.
