saddlesore

Equestrian's tender rear

Saddlesore describes the aching, chafed condition of someone who has spent too long on horseback or a bicycle seat: After fifty miles, I was completely saddlesore.

As a noun, a saddlesore is the painful spot itself—a raw or blistered area where skin has rubbed against the saddle.
