Hello, I'm due to give birth in the next few weeks with my first and wondering how you've managed your horses/yard and newborns?
I have my own small yard (no liveries) so can't get someone to do them easily. I've got 4. I can get a freelance but that's extra expense id like to avoid unless needed.
My husband will have 2 weeks paternity leave and will do them in that time. Unless I need a C-Section and can't drive I'm hoping to be able to do them as normal. Fingers crossed they'll be out mostly by then.
Just looking for some reassurance and tips really! I don't have any horsey friends so my friends think I'm mad even taking a baby to the yard. I'm planning to breastfeed so no bottles to heat.
When did you first take your newborn to the stables?
When did you get back riding? (I stopped riding at 10 weeks) and how did you manage with baby in tow?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated as the horses are what I'm mostly stressing about!
Thank you xx
