well this is my first post for a very long time.
I am now a mummy to 4 month old twins so I haven't been riding for quite a while!!!
I now just have my gorgeous Gator who i bought as a 4 year 6 months before i was pregnant. I brought her on did a bit of everything handful of competitions BS and BD then she had nearly a year off from riding and i just ticked her over lunging.
I managed to get back on 17 days after giving birth
I did only do a small amount to start with building mine and Gators fitness back up. I've been out for a dressage lesson and had a jumping lesson and decided it was time so joined BS and went out yesterday!
It was bit of a mission but dad has put isofix fittings in the living so George and Grace travel safely in their car seats and seem to like to motion of the lorry - they were so well behaved luckily afriend came along and looked after them while mum helped me warm up, but they were very good and slept mainly until i'd finished and then it was feed time!
Gator bless her was unreal. We jumped british novice and discovery (probably only jumped 2 discoveries before) and she did a double clear in each! she tried really hard even with my rusty eye seeing some dodgie strides!! was so thrilled with her.
So luckily my first outing was a good one, i am sure we'll have more stressful ones juggling being a new mum and riding but fingers crossed we'll continue to manage!
So all being well xc schooling this week another BS outing and get out to do a dressage test and we'll aim for Eland BE90 mid April our first event!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look forward to anybodys tips on babies and competing, thanks for reading good to be back))))
