Good afternoon @maureenb What a great activity.....a lady's trip to a dude rach!!!! I loved trailblazing in the mountains and did a little of that in the desert. Then I joined a trekking group of ladies and we took annual walking journeys. I too developed SFN (small fiber neuropathy) and found that the heaviness in my legs was a deal-breaker.

I do have a colleague who understands horses well and the issues we face with neuropathy. Her name is @jenniferhunter and let me introduce you to her. Hopefully, she will also mention the help you might receive from MFR, Myofascial Release Therapy. That is my primary treatment for my neuropathy. I haven't been on a horse for quite a while but Jennifer has and she will be able to tell us what our legs need to stay up on that saddle.

May you be safe, free and protected from inner and outer harm.
Chris
