I learned to ride (again) at 40, after many years of abusing my body and not 
having good posture.  Riding has helped my posture immensely, but my mare can 
really jerk me around.  She does a trollop, which is a trot for a few steps 
trying to break into a mad gallop, gallop as long as it takes to bring her 
back then start over again.  Very hard on the old bod.  Also, as I condition 
I ride longer, and sometimes get tired  and let myself slump,  So while 
overall, riding makes me feel better and stronger, on some occasions to also 
makes me hurt.  BTW it is my opinion that you don't get straighter (and 
straighten your horse) by chiropractic, but by learning to ride better, 
getting in condition yourself, and correcting posture problems by proper 
stretching and exercise.  You have to know what straight feels like to know 
you are crooked.  jeri
