TammyWammy RR Addict (2877) | You can also do calf raises, balancing on that ankle whilst going up and down etc. Do work on both sides but more on the sore ankle. Also joint suplements

dickytim Executive Jockey (354) | I have had a couple of situations where my ankle has locked up during a lesson and I have not been able to move, fortunately for me this was a riding fitness issue and strength so since I have been riding regularly for a couple of years now it hasn't happened again.
I do use flexy irons, and I don't force my feet to be straight in the stirrups as is traditionally expected.
Does it help to have your toes pointing out some more?

S A R A H H :] RR Governer (6265) | Well one of my ankles can get really sore while Im riding and is just really hard to keep my ankle down.
The main problem I think is that I actually had a bone chip in that ankle a while ago which never healed properly coz I kept riding and refused to get a cast
So is there anything I can do to help strengthen my ankle and make it easier? Or do I just have to grin and bear it?
