The embryo is about the size of a chickpea at seven weeks. The only way riding would be dangerous if if she were in a serious spill that also seriously damaged her pelvic area and in that case, the miscarriage is the least of her problems.

If a simple fall off a horse at seven weeks could cause miscarriage, trail riding stables would be making a fortune. Rosie wasn't being irresponsible.
