I don't know if this will help, but I used toride a horse that had super-sensitive skin. To keep him fromgetting sores where the tack rubbed, I was told to wipe him withrubbing alcohol (after a very thorough grooming) and put Vaseline onthe bits that rubbed the most. This was done every morningand whenever he was saddled again, as he was a lesson horse at a campand would often be ridden twice in a day.
