OT Lesson to the wise
I have not been to a horse riding lesson in 6 months due to one thing and
another..being sick, Grant being sick, instructor doing shows, my trip...etc. Well. I was sooooo stupid. Thinking "oh, it wasn't that bad when I started taking lessons. I was never overly sore." Ahem. Waaaay different not being in shape and *beginning* horse riding and going in and *working* for an hour after not having done leg work (boy am I stupid) well. ow. ow. ow. ow. ow. I mean, I was sore by the time I got home. I wonder if I can get the girls to lie on my adductors and purr. |

Vitamin I (Ibuprofin) is your friend, as are bananas (potassium) and whatever form of protein you like best. Also, if you can manage it, stretch the muscles a bit and even try to use them a bit. It helps, honest. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Jill (who never takes Ibuprofin) I'm an aspirin gal for regular headaches. For muscle aches though, it just doesn't seem to cut it. Since I rarely take it (and can't figure out why anyone would take it for a headache as it does not do anything for those) I think I'm probably OK. I take aspirin twice a day for the arthritis in my hands. It does the job. I'm fortunate about headaches; I very rarely get one unless I have a sinus infection or the very rare migraine (which nothing but sleep and quiet helps anyway). For severe pain, there's nothing like BC Powder (I think it's a Southern U.S. thing) to knock it right out. Jill |

Jill (who never takes Ibuprofin) I hadn't heard of this ... Aspirin does nothing for me. Tylenol's good for headaches, but for muscle aches and arthritis, Ibuprofin is *it*. I have arthritis in my knees and lead a pretty active lifestyle, so I take Ibuprofin frequently, but I even asked my doc about this and she said it's fine. When I had my wisdom teeth removed, the vicodin didn't help; neither did the tylenol with codeine. The only thing that helped was 800mg of Ibuprofin. Basically, if I couldn't take Ibuprofin, I'd be in a world of hurt. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Once upon a time when I was young and not ill, I was asked if I would like to go on a pony-trekking holiday in Wales. At the time I had a horse of my own, so I didn't need the horse riding experience, but I thought the scenery might be nice. We rode all day. The first day my horse was a plodder but after they realised I could ride I got a faster one which I enjoyed and I think the horse did too. Pretty boring for a feisty horse to keep to a trot, probably. All the other people were in absolute agony after the first day. Their poor muscles..they hurt so much. I was lucky because at the time I rode every day. Tweed |
