Answers:
If your back kills you during everyday activities, do you really want to get into an activity that has you bouncing onto a relatively hard surface (the saddle).?
I don't know if it will hurt alot more, but if I were to take a guess, I'd say yes.. I know horseback riding is something I was told to never do after my fusion.. Although you haven't had a fusion, its probably better to keep riding horses on your "I'd be crazy to do this" list..Health Question & Answer

I also had a fusion 3 years ago and still suffer.. Horseriding is the last thing I would think of doing.. I think you are going to harm yourself if you do.. The hardest thing about it is realizing the things you can no longer doHealth Question & Answer
