Question to BiPenny:
In general how long does it take your body to adjust to riding a horse...
for example, I ride a road bicycle with a standard hard seat. Coming from an off season onto the bike can take about a week of riding, a couple hours a day to become accustom to the bicycle... your butt is sore for a bit getting use to the seat and you do not have the leg reach/extension you had previous.
I bet it is a lot longer to get your muscles use to being seated on a horse.. is there a difference with a saddle and without?
