I had a bad fall a month ago and have ruptured my Achilles’ tendon. It’s a bad tear so they are operating on it next week.
Long story short, I’m not going to be riding again until the new year and then it’ll have to be phased in with physio.
I’m wondering if buying one of those ijoy riding machines might help over the next few months to help keep my core strength going as I’m not able to leave the house or move around other than with a wheelchair or (sometime!) crutches. I’m worried that by the time I can ride again I’ll be so unfit that I’ll just be a liability on a horse!
Has anyone got one and could comment on whether this might be a reasonable approach?
