Here are the things that spring to mind as far as reasons why your new equestrian adventures may be leaving you sore:

Your saddle may not fit you as well as it could.

You might want to seek a second opinion on your seat position, as well as your general progress. Not all riding instructors are good at all aspects of riding. This is why some people are specialized as saddle coaches.

You may be holding the canter for too long at a time, which may be more than your body can take right now.

If you are an adult I would find a chiropractor with good references, and go in for an examination/adjustment.

If you are a child, I would talk to your parents about that idea and see what they think.

No matter your age: Do NOT ever see a chiropractor who you haven't actually checked the references on. A bad one can hurt you more than you would even believe. A good one is a wonderful blessing, and someone you will treasure for life.

No matter what you do, yoru coach and your parents need to know about the fact you are having difficulty walking the next day.
