Can I ride a horse while pregnant?
Riding a horse during pregnancy is a personal decision to be made with medical advice; in general, the first trimester with a low-risk pregnancy and previous experience is the most advisable.
Detailed explanation
The decision depends on the gynecologist and the individual profile. In the first trimester, with solid experience and a low-risk pregnancy, riding at a walk on a familiar horse in a safe environment is reasonable. From the second trimester onwards, it is prudent to switch to groundwork (walking, grooming, feeding). After childbirth, returning to riding requires prior reconstruction of the abdomen and pelvic floor. No case should be decided without medical evaluation.
