Well i must be getting old! over the last 2 months my knees and ankles have been causing me trouble half way through a hack and towards the end,so much so i have to take my stirrups away! I'm almost to the point of not wanting to get off my horse,my friend had to lift me off mine the other day as i was in so much pain which is a bit bad! I saw the doc last week as fluid had built up around my knee caps and they were both v swollen and v painful,i've never had knee problems before so it's a bit odd? i have had bad ankles from too many falls so expect them to get sore now and again. The doc said i need to have a rest from riding (er i don't think so,my 2 would go mental if i gave them more than 2 days off) so am riding a little longer which is a bit better for a while but by the end of the ride i'm still in a lot of pain. Didn't help that today i went on a 4 hr ride! they actually weren't as bad as i thought they'd be. Anyway waffling on!
Point of post is: what are the best flexi irons to go for? my friend who owns a tack shop loves her Sprengers so am wondering whether to get some of those,quite a bit to spend on a pair of irons but don't mind if their worth while.
Anyone else have poorly knees from riding? i'm only 26 so am a bit worried as to why they are all of a sudden bad,i do about 5 miles of dog walking daily so maybe i'm doing too much with an hour and a half ride daily with that?
Any help would be v much appreciated
