Being pregnant and around horses right or wrong?

GTs when you are pregnant - we will all wrap you up in cotton wool - so as to get the best price for the story!

Anky Van Grunsven was 5 months pregnant at the Athens Olympics and still managed a gold medal . . . .

I am so sorry to hear about your misscarriages and problems. I do agree with you though that I wouldn't take the risk. It's what's right for each person. I haven't had kids yet but have a condition which could cause complications so I too would rather be safe than sorry and risk losing or harming my child.

Sounds like you know where I am coming from.

My friend who rode til 8 months is a nurse and she spoke to the consultants and midwives and they all said if her horse was safe and she was happy to ride, there is no right or wrong.....just right and wrong for the individual.

I also thought that your comment of your hubby didn't want you to ride was taken a bit literally, in an equal relationship we can all tell our other halfs what we would like and not like them to do. My hubby for sure would not want me to ride, in fact he would probably plead with me not too, not that I would.

Its a horses for courses thing, Good luck when you start trying, and remember to keep it fun!!!
