Those of you who have read my posts in the past may remember the problems I have had getting pony more forward.
Cutting a long story short, my new instructor has been very helpful and organised a different vet physio & saddle checks for pony, who now after 3 treatments and a new saddle has the potential to move without issue.
However, after the saddle lady came out today for a re-flock we have come the the conclusion I have one side (leg) which rides longer than the other. I am level in my seat and sitting straight but my right leg is much stronger and hence my left leg hangs lower. We have addressed this by shortening the stirrup on my left side, to try to maintain me in a level position, but I know in a month or so's time I am going to have squashed all the flocking on the right again, because my weight naturally falls to this side. After all the work we have done to help pony's back I don't want to ruin him by my awful riding.
Does any one have any idea how I can straighten my self up. I see chiro every 6 months and am attempting pilates. Thanks All!!
