Before I can get on board again?
Some background —
I'm 2 months post partum having had an emergency c section. I'm currently about 1 1/2 stone above my pre pregnancy weight of 11 1/2 stone (possibly a bit more after indulging yesterday and today). I'm 5ft 7.
Pony is 14.2 chunky cob although doesn't have as much bone as most cobs of her size/build. She's been out of consistent work for about 6 months. She has minor confirmation issues (pigeon toed) but is sound but currently unfit and under muscled.
I've started walking her out in hand a few times a week - we're in a very hilly area so a good work out for both of us.
Would love to get back on soon but not sure what's the maximum weight she could carry in current condition?
Is going to be at least a month before I get on as need to get saddle fitter and physio check but would welcome thoughts on how much I need to shift - this will help motivate me to lose the weight!!
I've added a photo for reference! She does look much finer in this photo than in real life - she is very chunky?+!
