Riding with a hip piercing

[Silent Knight]

I train horsecare and ridng diplomas and peircings of any form are not to worn whilst riding or working with horses.

BHS guidelines state that piercings and jewelrey should be removed. Insurance can be comprimised if piercings are not removed even those that are not visible.

She would not be training on my yard wearing one.

Don't whatever you do let her get it infected. I've gone through hell with my belly piercing and now have a beefy sized abscess and once I'm allowed to take it out will have a nasty scar.

What the bejesus? You can get your hip pierced!

Glad I finished my lunch before reading this post!

Just a quick, every single piercing I have had has got infected despite being religious about cleaning it!
I'd just breathe and accept that she has done it, the more you come down on her the more she will rebel!

Could you be allergic to the metal?

 

[Mince Pie]

I don't think so as I still have the piercings (belly and ear), I think it's just an initial reaction.

I actually think that that is quite sexy, although personally I'd do it on my back with smaller rings.

I have 4 dermals in my hip.

That's really pretty, hmmm may have to look further into those, were they expensive and how were they done?

^^^ I think I read that the 4 cost £100 altogether

The words 'hip' and 'piercing' together have very nearly caused me to throw my lunch up.....WHAT!????!!!

I would be really interested to hear any cases of this? I didn't think it was possible? do you have any links to articles or anything?

I recieved the info on equine specific first aid courses. If a rider has breathing problems with no visible obstructions, do not rule out the possibility of a punctured lung due to a body piercing.

Hollie all surface piercings will grow out eventually, however mine has lasted very well, i look after it as it still needs cleaning now and again, but i also have a flesh tunnel which i clean every day anyway, so i think if you have good management then it will last longer.

Oh dear, I only clean mine about once a month, if that!:S And my surface piercing was a plastic bent bar, apparently they are much better than metal bent or straight bars for healing. Obviously mine didnt heal that well though, but I think that was my fault.

Thanks

100 for all 4
Watch it on youtube, search microdermal hip piercings
They make a small incision and then stretch it slightly and pop it in its very quick.
