One exercise I used to do, mainly for fencing but it also helps with riding, is to bounce on the balls of my feet. By maintaining good posture and bounce, I got a good stretchy-exercise for my calves, and it also helped with my balance issues. (I fall over when on my own feet. If I'm not riding, fencing, or dancing with a partner, I have no balance.) When doing this for riding, it's recommended that you stand with the balls of your feet on the edge of a stair, hold the railing, and do heel-dips. I'd recommend asking Maestro if that would help you, before actually doing it.
Did I already mention this to you? If I'm repeating myself, I'm sorry; I have no excuse, I can only ask for sympathy because of a Mom Moment. (It's like a Senior Moment, but doesn't get me strange looks.)
