Whenever I told my wife the news, she said she had a feeling that's what was going on. I told her she is redboarding.....

hmm call me skeptic but the over under is 2 years before she is riding again.

She's pregnant and riding????!!!! Sorry, but in a sport that has an ambulance chasing riders as they ride, I don't know how responsible (wise) that is. Congrats, of course. But why take the risk?

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.

You can't live your life waiting for something catastrophic to happen.

Well it's back to biology class for me! Never been pregnant... hopefully one day soon. I wish her well... and absolutely, you can't live your life thinking about what could go wrong!

Cheers

It isn't really being a "skeptic" because she left the door open for a return. She said she had no current plans to ride again but "can't promise to stay off a horse forever."
So yeah, it sounds like a comeback in a couple years if certainly a possibility.
