I was so relieved to read this. I spent months trying to sit on the 
school saddle so it didn't draw blood. I couldn't even pass urine 
properly after a lesson. (I equated it to trying to ride a mountain 
bike with a male saddle and handlebars too far away). Eventually I 
learned to sit on my tailbone. My seatbones didn't come into the 
equation being suspended in mid air. I found them when I rode corrie.
