| I know it's a "to each their own" type thing, but what are your opinions?
I'm currently 9 weeks along, and my last barrel race will be next month. I was planning on riding until November getting her as ready as possible to be competitive next year. Then I can ride in the indoor until December/January just keeping her in shape, but not running her. After that I'll just do ground work.
The Dr says he doesn't think it will hurt the baby, but if something did happen with all the jarring around he would hate to have told me it will be ok. He would rather me just trail ride.
Personal opinions on this? Has any of you kept running in shows? |

Location: Okemah,OK | I rode / legged up / exercised my two older geldings at home until I was about 5 months. Planned on going until 6 but we had lots of rain and mud. My doctor wasn't too keen on it period but her main concern was a horse falling. I agreed with her on that and even my best, safest ones have fallen during a run. I also had a friend that was about one month further along than me. She had a horse do a hard stop at a closed gate, she hit the horn with her stomach, spent three days in the hospital because she started leading amniotic fluid. So I opted not to run barrels once I found out I was pregnant. I had a finals at about the 5 month mark and I had a couple of friends run my boys. Still got to go, watch, wrap legs, etc but no runs for me. Also, that is about the time I started to feel uncomfortable, jeans didn't fit so good, would get tired easily, etc so my brain kind of told me it was time to get off. I don't begrudge anyone that wants to keep going though. I know a lot of girls that do and have zero problems. |

Location: PNW | I didn't at all. That little life was worth more to me than time in the saddle. I ended having two very high-risk pregnancies, and IF I HAD been riding - nobody would have ever been able to convince me that riding didn't cause our complications.
There are so many variables involved with horses, even with the most trusted and honest ones, it just wasn't worth the risk. |

I only trail rode then, tho. I hadn't taken up barrel racing yet lol |

Riding is no big deal, but chit happens and the gentlest of horses can come unglued, the most sure footed horse can stumble and fall. I personally don't think a few months of not riding is much of a sacrifice to insure the health and well being of a precious life. |

Location: Where the stars at night are big and bright, TX | It's a personal decision. It's not the act of riding that's a problem...it's the risk of some incident causing the problem. The only time in my life I had a wreck on my 19 yr. old steady eddy was when I was 8 weeks pregnant. It wasn't even bad, mostly a hard twisty step-off. I started bleeding a few hours later and ended up in the hospital for a week. The placenta had torn away in one area. They got it stopped and a few weeks later I bled again, back in the hospital for another week, placenta still tearing away. I was put on full time bedrest not even permission to stand to cook from 17 weeks until delivery. Given shots to mature her lungs at 25 weeks and prepared for delivery at any time. In the end she was staying put and I had a c-section at 42 weeks.  I chose not to ride at all with my 2nd.
Some people ride every day and are never put out. One of my jumper trainers was schooling some, of mine over 5'6" fences a few times a week clear to when she was deep into her last month. More power to her. The stress of what really, in our everyday horse-riding was such a minor dismount, caused more problems than we would have expected and wasn't worth risking that again and by that time the next year I had younger hotter minded prospects. Nah, I let hubby keep them worked, I was ok taking a break for the 2nd one. I've been chasing Irish Twins and riding goofy OTTB's since. I barely remember the time off.

| I stopped running at 13 weeks, and riding above a walk at 4 months. I stopped running because I didn't want to risk something happening. I stopped really riding because my body just couldn't take it, pregnancy really killed my hips and back. I didn't mind the break, neither did my horse. My opinion I just don't think it's worth risking. |

Location: Memphis, TN | My first I was hell bent to ride no matter what. Fell off at 11 weeks in a freak deal and didn't get back on again. My second I competed until about 10 weeks but the fatigue and nausea killed any chances of me being competitive. I stopped running and tried to continue riding but I would start cramping every time I rode so I quit all together. I'm on my third and I haven't rode since I took the test. I'm 26 weeks now and lose my balance just walking. It's just not worth it to me. The horses love the break and they deserve it. They'll be there when I'm ready again. I was riding 3 weeks after my second. |

Location: Missouri | I chose to stop competing as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Called a friend and asked if she wanted to borrow my horse that weekend. Competing just wasn't worth the risk to me personally. I trust my horse but like someone else said, chit happens, you can't control the ground and falls and spills do happen.
I rode lightly (walk and trot only) til about 18 weeks I think. Then my balance changed. I just felt off and I could tell it was time to stop.
Like someone else mentioned, I hardly noticed the time off. Heck, my baby is almost 11 months old and I've yet to go to a barrel race. Life just keeps happening.... |

Location: Washington | Rode with both of mine. With my 1st up to 2 weeks before I had her, she was two weeks early. I stopped competing by 4 months but kept riding in the arena or down the trail.
With the second I got sciatica really bad, to the point I couldn't pick my own feet up to put shoes on and doc was talking PT. Well I had a horse for sale and had to show him. Surprisingly enough it helped the sciatica! I was put on bed rest with her at 33 weeks for preterm labor, I had her at 37 weeks. Second pregnancy was horrible, to the point I get panic attacks thinking about being preggo again lol
Doc with first daughter said I couldn't even ride a bike so a sure didn't tell him I was riding. Used a different Doc with the second and when he asked what I was doing to help the sciatica, he just shook his head and said, you know what I'm going to tell you. |

| I didn't ride at all. I tried to walk around a few times and it was uncomfortable for whatever reason at about two months so I figured my body was trying to tell me something. I was pregnant all winter so riding in the winter wasn't really that big of a deal anyway BC its so dang cold and windy here.
The life of my baby far outweighed my selfish need to ride horses. I couldn't have lived with my self if something bad would have happened. It wasn't worth it. My horse got plenty of brushing, bathing and lunging though  |

If I had ridden with the twins there's no telling what might have happened. My pregnancy was super easy with them, no morning sickness, just cruising along until I was 19 weeks and then all hell broke loose. The first bleeding episode put me in the hospital for four days...if I had been out on a horse when it happened, it could have been devastating. |

| You will hear all kinds of opinions on this, just the tip of the ice berg as far as babies/kids go so I guess its good practice :)
Personally I quit running/riding, I knew that if something happened and my horse fell I would never forgive myself and not sure I could bring myself to continue riding. I did go on the occasional lap around our arena at a walk on my old babysitter horse. In the grand scheme of things its a very short time to take a little vacation. My horses enjoyed it, I enjoyed it and I think I came back with more drive than I had before. Our perfect little girl is 10 months now and the center of our world! I kept busy doing other things while pregnant, you know those house projects you always put off because you need to get your horses rode? I got those done, and spent a lot of time prepping for our baby! Congrats and enjoy, it really does fly by! |

| I rode almost every day with my first until 3 weeks before I had him. Keeping the rope horses in shape and working cows. I stayed very active (working out and running as long as I could) and didn't gain much weight, which I think made a big difference, because even with the weight I did put on it made a big change in my balance. I had a c-section and was back riding 2 weeks later. I think a lot of that was because I had stayed in shape during the whole pregnancy.
If I was to get pregnant again, I wouldn't ride near as long as I did with my first, if even at all. With my first, I honestly didn't know what I was risking, but now that I do, and to say if something was to happen, it would be VERY hard to deal with. There will be PLENTY of time to ride after the baby is here (ok just kidding, more like once they get to college ) But all joking aside, I would take the time to focus on yourself, staying healthy & active as possible, and getting REST |

| With my first I didn't ride at all. Hardly any morning sickness and didn't gain much weight. I was very active and felt great! This time I have a horse that I can compete on and would love to keep riding, even if it's only in the small indoor to keep her in shape. So far nothing has changed with my balance, not as exhausted as I was a few weeks ago, and I feel great.
But at the same time while I'm working her I do feel a little nervous that all the jarring could hurt something.. I don't have anyone else to work my horse, but it wouldn't be worth it if something were to happen. I guess I have a decision to make! |

Location: Wherever the Army sends my husband | I sold my 3 year old filly immediately after finding out I was pregnant. I stopped running my good mare on barrels at 10 weeks but continued walk/trotting the pattern at home until I got big. I still walked the pattern and around the pasture till 38 weeks. I didn't have a high risk pregnancy and I have a VERY broke horse that I felt comfortable with. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Any activity that carries a significant risk of blunt trauma during pregnancy, including first trimester, also places the baby and mother at risk. You have to decide if it's worth it. Moderate exercise is fine, but things like barrel racing, moto cross, and downhill skiing are stupid, in my opinion. The idea that you can safely engage in any sport during the first trimester is false. |

I know you're a doctor, so let me ask you this: Why do so many doctors "OK" riding? That comes up in these discussions often. Is it because they don't "know" horses and what they are sometimes capable of? Is it because they don't know the extent to which the patient is involved with horses?
I don't really have room to have an opinion...never plan on getting pregnant, but I am curious. |

On a side note: It's easy to go to races with my SO's two children since they are older, but a newborn at a race is downright tough! |

I can't speak for others. All I can tell you is what I've said. Ultimately you have to decide. You can go ahead and ride and most likely you'll get away with it. If you fall, for whatever reason, you could lose the baby or put yourself at serious risk. I can't think of a sensible reason to take that chance.
Then again, if you play Russian Roulette, chances are you will be fine as well. |

Location: "...way down south in the Everglades..." | I fell off on a trail ride while I was pregnant but before I knew I was pregnant. Luckily it was all fine but I continued to stress about it until the first ultrasound. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I quit barrels and jumping and just did some flat arena work for about 1 or 2 months...then I just rode at a walk after that until about 5 months. Wasn't daily riding either...a couple times a week at best. At 5 months I quit riding. Looking back at my young and dumb self, if I actually had the opportunity to have another child, I would not ride..period. It's not worth the risk IMO. But it's a personal choice no doubt. |

I can see folks who make their living this way continuing to ride, but if you are a hobby rider (like me), I don't think looking back you will even remember the time you weren't riding.
Honestly though, people can do whatever they want- I really don't care- this is just how I look at it. |

I understand. I really don't talk about mine because it is a private thing, but it is awful. Had I done something to cause it, or that led to it, I would have suffered more. I was very very early in the pregnancy, and it was still awful.
I don't wish that pain on anyone, and this is why I'm giving the advice I'm giving. |

Does your son like to be worn? We're finding that our daughter will go to sleep in an ergo carrier or her Mei tai. Now I just have to convince my hubby to wear her at races. She'll sleep like a log without a fuss. I'm sure you tried everything and I know how obnoxious opinions can be in parenting sometimes, but I did want to throw that out there in case it was something you hadn't tried yet. |

 A Gopher's Worst Nightmare
Posts: 5094
Location: Southern Oregon | I ran barrels competitively with my first pregnancy until I was 6 months along, only because I truly did not know I was pregnant until then. I then did alot of lite riding on my super safe horses. My doctor told me I would KNOW when to quit, I laughed at her because I am pretty die hard. One I saddle up my gelding like I had been. I started warming him up as soon as he broke into a trot I instantly got side cramps like I had been running a marathon! I thought it was a fluke so I walked awhile and try again.....say thing, so I tried by passing trotting and broke him into a lope and still had the problem. I knew then and there my riding days where over until my little Miss made her appearance. After I quit riding two weeks went by and I ended being hospitalized with High Blood Pressure until the end of my pregnancy.
With my second pregnancy, my plan was the same. Besides the running competitively. I found out I was pregnant very soon in my pregnancy, so I went straight to being a sideline mom for my daughter who was 5/6 at the time and just doing slow work on a few of my horses. I was very sick and working full time at a ply wood mill so I was very exhausted. I spent the majority of my time coaching my daughter and nieces instead of riding. On my 19th week of pregnancy I was diagnosed with a torn placenta and that put a halt to EVERYTHING. I was on extreme bed rest and in and out of three different hospitals with tons of issues until I hit delivered. |

| I rode when I was pregnant, not realizing I was pregnant until I was several weeks. I immediately stopped, but I had complications early on in my pregnancy and didn't want to put myself or my child anymore at risk.
If I ever decide to have another baby, I will not step foot in the saddle, even if I have a normal pregnancy. I just can't see risking so much. |

Location: Stuck in a cubicle having tropical thoughts | Our daughter was stillborn at 37 weeks a year ago. I did not ride a single time while I was pregnant, mostly because I got pregnant in Dec and it was to cold and I was to nausous, plus we were selling our house for sale by owner and moving and I just didn't have the time or energy. The doctors did not have any reason why she was stillborn. That being said, I've been very careful with my body ever since with the hope that we will have another baby one day and you can bet if I ever have the chance to be pregnant again, I will be on pins and needles every day and there is no chance, no way I will climb on the back of a horse if I'm pregnant. It's not worth the risk. Nobody tells you during your pregnancy how many people end up with miscarriages and stillborns. You don't learn about how frequesnt both are until you go through it. My advice, pregnancy and a baby is such a miracle that have so many things that can go wrong that it is not worth any extra risk, expecially riding a horse. |

Location: Bandera, TX | I was young with my pregnancies. I rode racehorses till I was 6mo on the first and then continued to ride up till my due date. I was starting colts on the pattern that had finished their race careers. I had no problems. I was very cautious the last month. I never went back to the track between the pregnancies but worked barrel horses again up until late in my second pregnancy. Not competing just easy training. I would never do it now knowing how precious life is and how fragile life can be. 30 years have changed my thinking... |

My advice, pregnancy and a baby is such a miracle that have so many things that can go wrong that it is not worth any extra risk, expecially riding a horse.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers God blesses you with another baby when you and your husband are ready. |
