Re: [RC] pregancy and riding - rides2far


You'll get pretty strong opinions as to whether to ride or not. You're going to 
have to make up your own mind. I chose not to ride *at all* once I found out I 
was pregnant...but then I had the foresight to make sure my horse had a tendon 
injury first so that made it a little easier. >g<  I rode one time. I got on my 
student's 25 year old totally dead broke pony to show her something and *she* 
bucked me off! Learned my lesson. If ol' Abby could be unpredictable any horse 
could.

I honestly don't believe riding would hurt anything. But runaways, horses that 
get into bees and buck, holes they trip in...those things can happen. You don't 
need to be getting x-rays while pregnant. I figured if I can have the self 
control not to ride when my horse isn't 100%, I can have the self control not 
to ride when *I'm* not.

That said, I know people ride when they are well along. Their choice I guess.  
At least they make me look a little better in tights. :-P
