It is absolutely crucial to consult with a veterinarian before making any decisions about riding a pregnant horse.
Here's why:
* Pregnancy is a delicate time: A pregnant horse's body undergoes significant changes, and any stress or injury can be dangerous to both the mare and her foal.
* Risk of miscarriage or injury: Jumping a pregnant horse, especially in the first trimester, carries a high risk of miscarriage or injury to the mare and the developing foal.
* Individual horse needs: Each horse's pregnancy progresses differently. Your veterinarian will be able to assess your horse's individual health and determine if riding is safe.
Instead of relying on general advice, please talk to your veterinarian. They will be able to provide you with personalized guidance based on your horse's specific needs.
Remember, the health and safety of your horse are paramount.
