Today I was half way through my lesson when I had the most awful sudden cramp in my right upper left thigh - this was after 10 mins of sitting trot with no stirrups.
I have previously suffered from jelly legs (post ride), tight hamstring, aching ankles, an inability to walk upstairs and been mistaken for John Wayne.:eek: But this is all post ride (and fortunately not all together!) and thankfully is becoming rarer.
I'm hoping this was a one off but just in case - why do you think this happened (i wasn't doing anything I haven't done before) and what do you do when this happens? Is there an equivalent of pulling your toes back for calf cramp but for thighs and that you can do on your horse? Its still aching now a bit (3 hours later) - I'm off in the bath.:)
