>>>I just slid behind it, like I would if I was
riding double, and go for a couple of miles until I was ready to get back in the
saddle.
I remember when I was a teen and my friends and I would
ride all day...so much *walking*, and we'd get soo sore. We would ride up beside
each other and without getting off switch horses just to feel a different saddle
under us, or we'd sit behind the saddle on their rump like you did. What kills
me is that we never once had the bright idea of *getting off and walking* to get
the soreness out! That was another thing I should have mentioned for someone who
is in pain on their first 50, *Get off the darned horse and walk the cramps
out!" If you're going to walk anyway, loosen up! It will do
wonders.
