Hi Janice >lately there has been a change in the way I ride, i dont know what, >but I have an ache afterward in the middle of my back just below my >shoulder blades
We are in the midst of a clinic with Peggy Cummings and I suspect that you are lifting through your sternum and that will give a lot of discomfort through the mid back. If you have a photo of yourself riding from the side I will ask Peggy to look at it and give you some suggestions if you like. One thing is that if your saddle is sitting even slightly downhill in front that can trigger a rider to hold in that part of the back. That is where slight shimming on either side in the front can really help. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
