Ankle problems when riding!?

When I rode today my trainer said that I have nice leg/feet position and that the only problem is my ankles are too flexible in her words %26quot;your tendons are too loose%26quot; because when I post my ankles wobble when I try to keep them straight is there any way to fix this?


I don%26#039;t wear tall boots but she said that it might help, do you think so??

Ankle problems when riding!?
tall boots keep them stiffer and more in place but just keeping your heels down and against the horse will help you. also, riding in two-point position can help you balance and keep your ankles stay put.
Reply:Get a brace for your ankles, maybe. I had the same kind of problem for awhile, not just wobbling but my ankles completely collapsing out from under me. A brace might help but you should also ask your trainer if there is anything you can change in your position that would put less stress on your ankles, maybe.
Reply:yeah longer boots might help, just try to keep a deeper seat, keeping all your weight down through your legs to your heel. How long have you been riding? Any accidents causing ankle problems?? Having %26#039;flexible%26#039; ankles isn%26#039;t a bad thing but you have to be able to hold your position. Just keep practising, it%26#039;ll come.
Reply:put presssure( or lean) on your outermost toes. it automaticly drops your heels, tucks in your knees and stops loosnes.





learned that when i took lessons when i was younger and we had a sub who was the jumping head coach. I guess when your doing equatation jumping not moving your feet is pretty important.
Reply:My trainer said that too, well not that i have wiggly ankles but that tall boots help that.





Try getting tall boots and try to get your tendons more tight.
Reply:I used to have wobbly ankles as well. I bought some half chaps that really helped to stop the problem, its a cheaper alternative to tall boots
Reply:Yes I do think so I ride horses and that happens sometimes and I think its because u are used to being flexable.
