Tips to help acheive stronger lower leg needed please.

[pipper]

Any helpful hints/tips/exercises for a stronger lower leg please. I am now beginning to help a friend bring on a very green and lazy cob. My lower leg is not the strongest, so I am trying to build strength up as quickly as possible but actually don't know how??
Thanks

I have a weak lower leg too and have found that hacking out with my stirrups jumping length has helped. Does make your legs ache a lot the first time though, especially if cantering up a fairly long hill!!

I should think on a green lazy cob it will get strong quick!
There was a thread recently about Gym ball excersises that was good,,, i will try and find it for you...

I also found finding the correct stirrup length and position makes a huge difference to how strong and secure i feel

Do you mean stronger or more secure? Your horse can feel a fly land on it, so you shouldn't need 'strong' legs. If you mean more secure, you need to work on your seat, position etc, and then move out to the extremities. Generally once your seat is correct, the legs will follow suit.
