We went out to ride Sugar and Morgunn in our back this morning. It was cold and windy. Sugar was lying down with her head up. I petted her for awhile and then bent over to put her halter on.
I felt a twinge in the lower, left part of my back close to the top of my hip. I was careful from that point on and it didn’t bother me while we were riding. Both horses did pretty well.
However, after going inside and taking a shower it has progressively stiffened up and is painful to the touch. I have had far worse strains in my lower back, but this is painful enough for me to be careful I don’t make it worse.
I’m sitting here now writing this with a heating pad on my lower back.
Ah, the joys of getting older.

Hey, I got a bum knee right now and my neuroma in my foot is flaring. Are you saying I'm old. LOL.
Get better Dan.
Ouch - feel better!
hope you're feeling better real soon.
Wishing your back the best....
:) :(
Painful to the touch? You should be on the guard for perhaps a fracture... probably not, but be watchful. mark
Sorry, Dan. That really stinks. Take it easy. We don't expect you better until Monday morning when the trees get here. ;)
Kidding, folks.
My back always gets sore when I don't ride for a while. The more you ride at a walk, the better your back will loosen up.
Feel better,
