A straight jacket required?!?!?

[pagancluf]

Just had my riding lesson today and if I could have taped most of it, it would have been "stick your shoulders back", "straighten your back" I have always had a problem with slumping!! It stemmed from being the only 9 yr old at school with C cup boobs! What I need to know is what can I do that will make me have a straighter back (apart from having a pole implanted into my backside area!) Are these shoulders-back sling things any good? Help me please!

A good bra helps lol!!! Glamorise (SP?) do one that's suposed to be good at keeping your shoulders back.

Never thought of that (dooh!) if I get one thats a size to small on the back area this might work!?! Will try anything! (apart from the pole implant!) It all stemmed from learning to ride on a TB ex-racehorse that spoooked at everything - every time I felt a spook, went into the "Foetal position" bugger.... Now I do it at all transitions, etc.

I used to lean forwards when I did a lot of hacking under trees and didn't have any lessons. I found to sit up straight I had to feel as if I was leaning back.

You can get a riding brace that pulls your shoulders back, good for people who slouch or suffer with a bad back.

No sure how comfy they are though!

Tried riding with a whip between your elbows and back?
