I have owned and rode horses all my life. I am having difficulty coping with not being able to ride because ppl told me I cant. Is it seriously that big a deal to ride? I don't want to hurt my baby, but it's literally the only thing I have done for myself and can't deal with giving it up for so long...

Hey I know it's hard but it is for the best, do not go past 6 months still riding as you can go into premature Labour, preemies can come with all sorts of ongoing health issues, so it is for the best to give it up fir a few months, but like pernicious said just ve around them still, groom and muck out etc, that's all part of the enjoyment of having horses :)

I have 15 horses and it is tough. Best thing to do to keep your mind is just be around them. You can still clean stalls, turnout, groom, and if you know your horse well enough you can still ride as long as you are comfortable and your balance is still ok...just keep to a walk and it's always best to have someone close by.
