Hi, I am new to the forum.
I rode in my teens (never very well. But could canter), and then intermittently (walk, trot only as I lost confidence). I am now 58 and have had one to one lessons for a few weeks now and love it, but get frustrated at my tension when garnering (losing stirrups, etc). Yesterday I had an hour without stirrups which helped but today I am aching all over and have a painful lower back! What is the best exercise for avoiding this?
