Product Description
Explaining the impact of horseback riding on the human back in easy-to-understand terms, this guide illustrates how various movements in the saddle affect a rider's back and outlines straightforward steps that can be taken immediately to help keep riders ready to saddle up. Too many riders suffer from back injury, stress, or strain and consequently experience pain when in the saddle or are unable to ride at all. This indispensable guide has step-by-step exercises for strengthening the body for riding, guidance on horse selection and tack selection, and tips on which horse sports are appropriate for riders with various back problems. Traditional and alternative treatments for back pain are also discussed, as are the special considerations of pregnant and elderly riders.

 Good Information February 28, 2010
AL (Nevada)
As a retired R.N, I was personally disappointed in this book but believe it would be very helpful to a non-medical person who just wants to know more about their back and how to possibly prevent or reduce their back pain. This book provides an excellent over all view of the human back and discussed multiple back conditions. The pictures and descriptions were wonderful. The information and terminology is explained in a very user friendly way (Kudos to the doctor :>) I have several back issues myself and found some of the excercises to be contrary to what I have been advised or instructed. However, this can happen with any type of medical condition and only serves to underscore the necessesity to consult with your own doctor or therapist. As so many "seniors" are getting into riding these days, I would love to see some one do a book on Yoga, core excercises, pilates, etc with some of our ailments in mind...such as blown disks, arthritis, osteoporosis, etc.
 Good anatomy lesson and encouraging for riders February 10, 2010
Kattai (Mexico City, Mexico)
It was very encouraging to have a neurosurgeon and horseman write a book about how to protect, strengthen, and stretch your back without giving up horsebackriding. Very detailed anatomy description, good pictures, and explanation of the different ways to hurt and help your back while riding.
 Got Me Back in the Saddle January 6, 2010
L. Mintun (Santa Cruz, CA)
I purchased this right after rupturing a disk in my low back and found it extremely useful. It was great to read something so encouraging vis a vis keeping up my riding, and I found the positive attitude really helped to keep the blues away. The exercises are terrific: practical, achievable, and I can do them at home without taking an hour and a half every morning before I go to work. I also really appreciated the guidance on exercise reps - so many times you are told to do 3 sets of 10, no matter your current fitness level. I was so wrecked that at first I could only do 1 of each of these. I built up to five reps of everything and felt great the whole time. It has been a year since my injury and I'm pain free, chasing down cows, and can't even imagine starting my day without doing my exercise routine. Thank you, Dr. Warson!
Fabulous book!! April 11, 2009
Yvonne Knight (Jacksonville, FL)
At last, a book written by a doctor who not only is qualified to write about back problems, but is very knowlegable about horses and riding. It had good information for my husband with his back maintenance even though he doesn't ride and was really on target for me who just recently went to physical therapy because my back was hurting after I rode my horses. I am now pain free and I think what I learned from this book will keep me going for quite a while longer (I'm 63)!
At last a back doctor who doesn't tell me to give up riding!! November 21, 2007

Dr Warson is a neurosurgeon and rider - yippee! Someone, who's first reaction is not to blame all your back problems on riding. This book provides an interesting look at your back's anatomy, function and problems (or potential problems). Stretching and strengthening exercises and practical advice on riding as you age (or with back aches).
