2 years!! Then today this happens

[conniegirl]

So after more than 2 years, Pregnancy, a Csection and the destruction of my core muscles I finally scrambled back on board a pony!
I’m far wobblier than i would like, there is absolutely no strength in my core muscles at all and I’m considerably fatter than last time i rode (as evidenced by my jods refusing to do up)
But Bryn was lovely, he coped beautifully with me. His owner was very encouraging and not worried by how wobbly i was.

Good for you! You both look fab! ?
He is a handsome boy

You both look amazing ?

Brilliant, well done girl!

 

[tinselbobs]

Well done! It’s a challenge getting back on after having a baby, I still feel so wobbly. Looked like you smashed it though!
Gorgeous horse too!

Blimey look at that off the floor canter !

 

[Bradsmum]

well done, looking very confident. Are you planning on getting back into riding regularly now you've started again?

Possibly. My little lad is too small to carry my weight and i need to get the house move completed first but i do have an invite to ride him more often

Took me a bit by surprise i have to admit.

Judging by the way Bryn's going there he isn't either - or you're nowhere near as wobbly as you thought you were! You look very well matched with him.

Thanks, i felt like a nervous sack of jelly!!

God do my legs ache today. I had forgotten about those muscles!!

 

[eahotson]

Well done.

Well done! The first time back is the hardest and you look far better than I did! I was worried that I would be nervous of spooking etc but found actually I was scared of my own body cause it felt so different to pre pregnancy. I wasn't scared of the spook but more my body's ability to sit to it.

Pilates really helped me get my core strength back and get back to grips with isolating different muscles.
