Did anyone ride through pregnancy? Or when did you stop riding, I’d love to continue but not sure, I’m 16 weeks on Wednesday
Thank you🩷

I stopped around 4 months

I stopped riding around 6/7 months! Only because I struggled to get on without nearly falling off as I lost my balance a lot! I had reduced the amount I was riding though and was only riding once or twice a week and mostly walking hacks or pole work in the school.

My plan is to continue through to around 6 months. 13 weeks atm and riding a few times a week

Currently 6 months and still riding 5 days a week and jumping(smaller however still lessoning twice a week) but I’ve heard you’ll know when you are no longer effective…assuming balance would be the first thing to go! Hoping to keep riding for another month or so 🤞🏼

Thank you all, I’m really wanting to carry on riding but was hesitant, definitely think I’ll ride til I feel I can’t! Thank you again xx

13 weeks currently and still riding. I’ve cut back to flat work in the school to minimise risk. I’m hoping to make it to 20 weeks 🤞 energy levels seem to be my struggle atm

I rode until 6/7 months… I stopped when I started feeling nervous and it felt right to! Obviously depends what type of horse you have… I mainly hacked walking around the woods and a bit of trotting :) x

I’m 16 weeks, still riding a few times a week and will keep going til it feels comfortable

I rode with my 2nd until 18 weeks
My second I didn’t ride her pregnant coz she was ridden behind my back at my old yard and it messed her up
My 3rd I rode her until 25 weeks only coz my hips were so bad with SPD after I ridden I was in pain all night and couldn’t do much for my older too
This pregnancy I would still be riding but coz there’s a broken down tractor in the school I’ve not ridden since July I would still be riding now tho

Listen to your body. I’m 18 weeks and ride occasionally (once every week or two) if I feel like it but if I’m having an off day or feeling tired/whale-like, I won’t.
Will probably stop when bump gets a bit bigger. When I was pregnant with my first I rode until I was 7 months cause it felt right but don’t think I’ll be able to do that this time.

I stopped riding after first trimester. It wasn't worth the risk for me and it felt uncomfortable, same as jogging
