It's really works, and you don't even have to be on a horse to do it...so I again, I will put myself out there with my wonderful exercise to be laughed at, and looked at with the look of "what?? are you crazy??" I'll also just mention that now is very close to the perfect time for this exercise....when it's colder...the absolute best time is in the winter when there's lots of snow....but a little chilly will do just fine! (I'm sure you're just dieing to know what this exercise is....and I'm sure the look of "what??" is starting to apear on your face right now! hahaha#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#So the exercise:#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#Take 2 cups (not mugs, be sure they have no handles) and fill them to the very very top with cold water. Now go outside, in an open area (a drive way will do just fine). Now hold those 2 cups of cold water, one in each hand, and start running around in a circle....doesn't have to be too fast, even a jog will do just fine. Key thing.......NO GLOVES ON!!! You'll start spilling water all over your hands, b/c you're moving your hands around. So eventually your hands are going to be pretty darn cold! Keep going. Try to keep your hands steady so that they water doesn't spill on you. You want to absorb the motion from running through you back, and arms. Eventually you'll figure out which muscles to use so that you keep your hands steady, and then you won't spill any water. Now, ride your horse.....you'll see that your hands are steadier.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#The best time and place for this exercise is when there's at least 2 feet of snow, b/c then you run through the snow, without gloves on. This makes you have to step higher, and makes you bounce more, which leads to you having to absorb more of the shock from running.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#I know, you all probably have the typical look on your faces, but TRUST ME! it REALLY REALLY works! You just have to learn which muscles to tense and which ones to relax, in order to *get it*, and this exercise does that. It makes your hands work independently from the rest of you....which is what you want on your horse.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#So....everyone with hand problems, get out there and start running around with cups of cold water!
