Re: [RC] Can't ride anymore?? - heidi sowards

A friend of mine who used to ride with me alot got pregnant
and asked her docter if riding was out. His response was,
do what you have always done, just be careful and don't
overdo anything, just not to start doing something new that
your body is not prepared for. And if it becomes
uncomfortable, stop. As for a fall, you know your horse
better than anyone and what the chances are for a fall. We
all know it can happen anytime, don't we? Then it becomes a
judgement call on your shoulders. I know a gal that rode
til the saddle horn got in the way. (She should have
switched to endurance and she could have kept going!! :)

I don't recommend it, but it does have to be your
decision.

  Subject: [RC] Can't ride anymore??


  I found out this week that I'm expecting (YAY!!) and
I'm about 7 weeks along. My doc's appointment this
morning was cut short when they had to leave for a
delivery and I didn't get a chance to ask the doctor
about whether or not I can continue to ride. I've been
told by nearly everyone (non-horse people) that I
absolutely cannot ride for the duration of my pregnancy
for risk of falling and causing a miscarriage. Is that
true???  o.O   I was planning on riding until I
physically couldn't manage it any longer? Is this a
no-no?? 

  Regards,
  Liz
