Unintentionally raising left hip when riding....help please

[Bryndu]

Hi all,

I am having a bit of a problem with raising my left hip when I ride which in turn brings my left seat bone off the saddle..and causes my left knee to grip up and my left foot to rise.... I know!

So...do any of you lovely people have any exercises I can do to help me to stop this happening?

Many thanks in advance...

Have you been to a chiro / physio to check your straightness? I've found it a lot easier to sit straighter in the saddle since I started regular check-ups last year! After all we do it for our horses, it's only fair that we get ourselves checked as well.

Other than that, lots of no stirrups work and good lunge lessons!

Sounds like a plan re the physio thing.....
I do work without stirrups but when I take them back...up goes the hip.....very annoying

I'd definitely get checked out then! I've been having issues recently with keeping my weight down my right stirrup - went to my physio today and I was very wonky (including left leg longer than my right). Hopefully I'll find it easier to be even when I school tomorrow...fingers crossed
