Hi Stacy!

You don't have much time.  At age 66 I had the same
problem....two years ago four laps around the outdoor arena
at a trot was a LONGgggg trip.  Just did a 25-mile CTR
in January with no problem.

My solution was to join a local health club.  The trainer
set me up with a series of upper and lower body exercises
designed for "horseback riding"

You should work out at LEAST five days a week to get
ready in a month!

Your BIG mistake was getting pregnant <g>!   LOL!!!
