Its one thing to say not to ride, but when horses are your life its another thing to actually not ride. Alot of people wouldnt understand how hard it is though. I already know in a month or 2 I wont be able to ride many of the horses I currently ride.
Look at the Olympic dressage rider Anky, she went to the olympics and WEG during both her pregnancies. She was 5 months the last.
I totally agree its killing me not to ride i have nothing left to do, i stayed at home so that i could ride and go to uni and now i have NOTHING to do, i could never ever give my horses up. Loads of the top riders keep going Mary King went and won team gold did she not when she was preggers. If i was allowed i totally would have kept going i just cant now cos i agreed not to and then if it went wrong it would be my fault grrrr...
I was told that unless you have been doing it regularly before you were pregnant that it's not the best idea. We've just moved to a property that we can have horses I have to sait myself with just grooming for now neighbors actually offered us a really good deal on a couple of horses... Can wait to get to ride again.
I worked as a groom before i got pregnant. The day before i found out i had a fall and the horse fell on top of me. I actually gave up my job at 6wks pregnant because i didnt want to lose another baby. I also have 2 horses which i loaned out. I know a few people tho that have rode all the way through there pregnancies. Listen to you body and dont over do it. If your used to it then it shouldnt hurt.

Ditto. This is the longest amount of time I will have gone not riding. I hate the idea of someone else caring for my horse, but there's nothing I can do about it. Especially now the nights are longer and the days are warmer I get really itchy feet to go and ride! Arrrgh!!
I know im always tempted to move to NZ with them but i would just miss having all the events everywhere and they are all so good. Where are you btw? I cant wait to get back on my pony (the one at the bottom got put down 2 weeks ago got serious colic ) But i have a foal born in July which is soooo exiting, its the second one yaaay!!
