Is horseback riding affecting my piano technique?
After horseback riding my fingers feel stiff, lazy and i feel like my technique has degraded. I think it's because the pulling on my hands. I know sport is a very common topic in piano forums, but I haven’t seen anyone talking about horseback riding. Can it do long-term damage to your hands? (Yes I use gloves, but they don’t seem to be very useful)

I might be a bit paranoid about this but I still want to hear you honest answers.

If your piano technique returns to normal within an hour or two after riding, don't worry. That sounds like the same degraded fine motor control that one gets temporarily after a gym workout.
