Dreamin'

I know part of your question is in spoof, but wearing something extra under your wranglers (Having the seam on the out side of your leg and smooth on the inside is good advise) will reduce the friction against your skin.

Just like hikers will wear one pair of thin " slippery" socks against the skin and then another pair of " regular ones" over those; the long underwear or the nylons trick(don' t know if I could bring myself to do the nylons one) serve the same purpose.

Saddle sores are NOT like blisters. While taken to the extreme they can bleed, in most cases when you feel saddle sores starting and you manage to get off of that horse and step into the bushes to drop your drawers and see what the hell is going on with your legs (usually inside of knees and thighs) you find it is only slightly reddened. Slightly reddened alright, but when you have four more miles to go, it can light every bulb in your tree before you get there -- you won' t be enjoying the ride or the scenery.

It is definitely worth avoiding.
