Angie, I would suspect she could go.  After I smashed my shoulder in February,
my surgeon was concerned that I would begin to ride to soon. Not that riding
would hurt the repair(pins, plate, duct tape, and all) but that if I were to
fall 
again and damage the shoulder, the repair would have me off a horse for a
year.  So I was back on at 6 weeks, and taking it very easy making sure we
didn't tumble. For Darla, it will be high risk.  Of course its her call and I
know we
all wish her the very best.   Jerry Fruth
