Re: [RC] [RC] pregnant and riding - rides2far@xxxxxxxxWhy can't doctors give women a little credit? Gimme a break. Credit? Dang, if I put my credentials on paper I could make it look like I had as much right to ride right on through as anybody...but I KNOW BETTER than to think I can make sure nothing happens. Heck, I don't fall off, I fall under. Maybe I'd be better off to fall off but seems like every time I go down it's because the horse went down. Personally, I didn't ride *at all* when pregnant. Yeah, I probably could have found a really safe, careful horse to piddle around on but why? What's 9 months out of your life? If I'll stay off my horse 9 months because he's got a strained suspensory, what does it say if I can't stay off of him 9 months because I want to take no chances with my baby? However, the best method for me was to combine the suspensory injury with the pregnancy. My daughters ended up 4 years apart instead of the 2 I'd planned, but the horse finally went lame, I got pregnant, and we killed 2 birds with one stone. :-) Angie =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
