argh just had a lesson for the first time in 6 months, and it was only half hour!! but anyway i was not too bad the day after, but quite stiff and sore (weds) but now im in some serious pain i dont kno whether to laugh or cry!! every time i sit still for more than 5 mins all my tendons/muscles on the inside of my thighs seem to shrink and tighten up loads, and it doesnt seem to be getting much better!!!!!!!! (im sure it will but just needed to vent my pain!!!!! lol)

i think my problem was i was gripping the whole lesson (due to my very poor balance), and i didnt get to do much walking!
i tried some deep heat, but i dont think it goes deep enough!! maybe a hot water bottle....
any tips??
 
I was the same after last Saturday, hadnt had lesson in 8 years or so, went in neighbours sandschool (who is an RI) and she decided she was going to help me sort problems out with my horse well an hour an a half later we left got off horse and could hardly move had to take very small steps, still felt very sore Tuesday but had arranged a 30 minute lesson for the evening, really thought i was going to need wheelchair Wednesday but actually felt much better, have now arranged to 30 minute lesson every week. Just proved how unfit I was.
 
Best thing that works for me everytime with sore joints and muscles is a swim then sauna and jaccuzzi. Afterwards I feel like my body has relaxed again. It is the only way I can ride with my illnesses. Also if you carry on riding the pain improves, if have been riding for a week then stop ouch, if I try and carry on I am ok.
 
thanks for the tips!, i slept with a hot water bottle between my legs last night!!! which really helped its so much better today, cant wait to get back on the horse!!,
