A member asked:
Is horseback riding a bad idea if you have scoliosis?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: You are only limited by discomfort. Riding itself won't change or effect anything in most cases.

Not necessarily: If you are skeletally mature with a mild curve, the curve is unlikely to progress as a result of horseback riding. You are at a statistically greater risk of back pain then the general public though and as such should observe good ergonomics, and practice core stability.
