Laura did great when she rode pg. She was
fit, healthy, and had one heck of a good time. I rode until about 10 days
before delivery. I knew every rock, tree, and shrub where I could tinkle
too. I cantered and whatever else. The neighborhood figured I was
going to have my kid while riding. I didn't, he is 34 now, fights fires in
Oregon, is 5' 6" (heighth comes from dad), is smart altho lazy. He went to
college, majored in Russian, and now is getting a degree in Forestry. (I
told you so son). He is a good kid, a balanced rider, a fantastic
skier who still skiis over the back of mom's skiis to hear me shriek, a good
fire fighter. Like Laura I was fit and practically doing hand stands to
start labor. I still had to be induced. I figure one does what one
is comfortable doing. I will admit to having a hard time getting on the
horse as my belly got bigger. Riding kept me sane and still keeps me
sane. Jeanie
