Re: [RC] Lower back issues and endurance riding? - Steven ProeHi Nancy: I think that if he starts off slow and you will allow that to happen you/he may find that riding may actually improve his back pain as it will strengthen many muscles that he probably is not using at this time. I have sever back problems and I have found this to work for me with the occasional use of Vicodin. hth Steven Proe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Kay" <alankay@xxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 7:59 AM Subject: [RC] Lower back issues and endurance riding? My dear husband has been crewing for me on my rides, setting up camp, preparing wonderful meals, supporting me in every way, as well as doing P&R's at the vet checks (i.e. serving as a rubbing post!). He is now contemplating trying the sport out for himself, but he has chronic lower back issues. If any of you have advice for him in terms of saddle type, breed of horse, etc. please let us know. Thanks very much. Nancy =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
