For the past couple of years, Wee has taken riding lessons with a lady about 40 miles north of us. She worked with his Occupational Therapist (OT) in order to make the most of his lessons, and she did a really good job with him.
So, I've been getting back on my horse, and discovering "challenges"; since I can't feel a lot of my foot, or bend it, I am having a lot of trouble finding my seat at faster gaits. So I called her and went up Monday evening for my own private lesson.
We adjusted tack to compensate for the lack of bend, and she helped me get some form back. I rode hard for a good hour.
And OMG do I feel it today. My back, shoulders, thighs, and knees are all screaming.
But it is a GREAT feeling. They say no pain, no gain, right?
