Ok well I've been riding and racing for 15+ years and my doc said that so long as I'm not racing and I'm just walking I can ride till I can't get on the horses anymore. I've ridden a few times since I found out not every day like I want to but there's risks in shopping risks in having sex risks in walking outside driving a car walking downstairs going to work exercising everything. There's huge risks just being pregnant. If something's gonna happen it's gonna happen. I mean I'm pregnant and diabetic so does that mean I shouldn't eat sweets? I'm pregnant. I'm sure I sound hormonal And rude right now but it's true. Some times it's how it goes. Most pregnancies you can do any activity you've done before with no worries. You just have to listen to your body.
I wouldn't risk it. What if some how or another the horse gets spooked ?? An bucks u off ? I wouldn't take the risk
I ride but not as much as usual
there's something called placental abruption.. the placenta basically peels away from the inner wall of your uterus - this can be caused by a "jolt" of any sort.. and I would think riding a horse could cause that jolt, no matter how gentle or well-trained the horse is.
the horse could step in a hole, miss a step, gallop too hard, etc. I've always heard not to ride a horse, ride a roller coaster, anything that could jolt the placenta too hard..
just wait 10 more weeks to be safe! (((:
Horseback riding puts a lot of pressure and impact on your core, where baby is. I would personally find it very dangerous to ride that far along. Even if you trust your horse; horses can trip, something can spook them, they can have a temper. Remember they are always animals. Bring pregnant often throws off your balance as well, which is essential in riding. I just wouldn't take that risk. - professional rider and trainer for 10+ years.
How could it harm the baby?
My doctor said no after week 12, could harm the baby!
you don't want to risk falling off, I would wait!
Yeah I wouldn't do anything crazy and I definitely know better than to go alone if I were to ride. Just sorta about it
Ive probably wait till after the baby, just to be 100% safe, even if you do trust your horse why risk it, you only got about 10 weeks anyway :)
I have a horse myself and I went riding on her and I'm 20weeks pregnant. I trust my horse, so I say it's fine if you trust the horse and are just riding casually.
