I have no problem with this, but if your horse isn't straight,
being a "better rider" may GIVE you chiropractic problems that
you didn't have before!  With me and Beau, we are always
playing "chicken and the egg".  Sometimes I need to ride a
"straighter" horse and he needs a "straighter" rider to excercise
with before we can both be "straight".   As far as age - I'm
right there with ya!

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
