I used to ride a lot as a child/teenager, but I had to stop when we moved house to somewhere that didn't have a nearby stable. Then in my twenties I developed arthritis in my knees and feet, and after that I thought that riding wouldn't really be practical. Recently two things happened: I met someone with much more severe arthritis than I have who rides regularly, and I moved to a new flat that turns out to be a short walk from a stable. So I've booked a lesson for next week! I'm really excited, but nervous. Are there any other riders here who have begun/returned to riding with arthritis or other joint conditions? Any advice or strategies?
