For all of my adult life, my hips have been one size larger than my top. But for the first time, I'm the same size all around, and I think it is the riding that is doing this for me. Exercise-wise, riding is the one thing I'm doing different than all the other many times I've lost weight.

My instructor had me trotting without stirrups last week, and I managed to get through it without falling off! Last time we tried this, I had a rather ... abrupt ... meeting with the ground!
