Horseback riding

Hi today I did more - 20 mins. yesterday only my glutes hurt today I think my abs and back will be sore a bit. I tried to sit the trot today it was harder than yesterday prob cuz my muscles are weaker today and this is a big moving warmblood (could sit his trot before) - Probably in a couple of weeks more w /no stirrups will fix that. Didn't canter yet (I won't canter if I am not sitting the trot though it is probably easier) - that too I'm waiting to do at the 6 week mark. My trainer's daughter who also has worked with me said when was the last time you rode... I said " the last time you taught me (that was 2 months ago)... aside for 10 mins yesterday".. She repeated "THAT was the last time you rode"? For all of us it went better than expected. BUT having said that - did you ever take a break from riding and go back to it and you do great but THEN the following week it all goes to hell?

Hello,

I was just wondering how everyone was doing. I haven't been on in a bit. I have been working with my horse some (his name is Ghost). The soreness has been no fun, but I feel at home riding. I always have. So good luck all riders!

I'm not riding as much as I'd like - but I'll blame it on fewer hours of daylight and too many hours of work! I have been lunging them some to keep the kinks out of them! One of my goals for this weekend is to get them all ridden..

Good luck to all!

Did you ride this weekend? I'm still doing my 15-20 mins on my trainer's horse - I am up to doing more but the horse isn't as my trainer works him first too. I want to do some sitting trot but the horse sucks back and he has a big bounce and my abs are not there yet at 5 weeks post op (actually they are no where) so my seat isn't great. The good news is that the vet took a look at my horse and said she is almost sound - i can start tack walking her. Should be a few more weeks. YAY. Then HER rehab starts too as she has been off a while.

I didn't get to ride today. We had to go in search of Halloween Costumes - and other miscellaneous errands. I did lunge them last night, so tomorrow I have high hopes if it's not too hot. The plan is to ride at least 2 then give them baths for what I expect to be out last hot weekend.

Keep riding, your abs will come back. I HAVE to sit the trot. My knee won't let me post. Now I have to find my industrial strength bra and I'll be back in business! Keep me posted on your progress!
