Yeah true I think it's definitely a personal decision. I wouldn't judge anyone for doing it though. It can get to the point where you're like not doing anything because it's too much of a risk to the baby and become a really boring nine months though.
Yes it is a personal decision so people can do whatever they want. I would personally prefer to live a boring 9 months than live with the guilt of knowing a risk you took killed your baby.
I dunno I think if you're smart about it and you were riding consistently before getting pregnant it's okay to ride for the first few months or even until you're like showing to the point that it's really impacting your balance. Obviously galloping/jumping huge/riding a greenie wouldn't b smart tho
I don't think it's worth the risk, even if you're one day pregnant and fall off your horse the baby could die because the placenta detaches from the uterus wall, it's just not smart in my opinion, horses are unpredictable
yeah I've known a few people who had ariat tall boot zippers break too...whatever boots you get I do not recommend calf skin. My boots are calfskin and look horrendously warn on the inside after only like 10 rides. get something with sturdier leather
