Jabba the Hutt on horseback (aka pregnant lady's last ride)

[DITZ]

Last ride today, almost 7 months and we've continued to gallop around like fools until today but all good things must come to an end. I guess I could carry on for another few weeks if I could bear to go at a slower pace but thats just not me and theres only so much my poor lad will take of me being ever so slightly unbalanced...

So I've put my competition and travel gear away and hung my boots and hat up till May and took one last photo...

(and yes, it really is too much hard work at this stage to clean him too...)

Fabulous pic I'm sure that Fly will be champing at the bit waiting for you to get back on again, you should be hooning around again in time for most of the summer, then the xc season starts in autumn ! Hope to see you then

 

[sancho]

What a cute 'bump', hardly jabber worthy!!!!

As my sister would say 'thats not a baby its a pickled onion'

Good luck x

 

[Tally.]

oh, wow, how do you dismount?

 

[Palomino Mare]

lol at jabba the hut, although i dont think you look that big compared to my cousin when she was that far gone!!

is anyone going to excersize your horse for you or is he just going to live easy life for a bit

 

[scarymary]

omg, you really nearly 7 months gone? i was that big at 3 months! n im only 5ft! well done for keeping riding and good luck for future

 

[pedilia]

aah thats a great pic, I am planning to ride until I am 7 months as I have found with my others I can no longer get on/off much past that point!
I was 7 months in this pic

I was also like an orange on legs at that stage too Painted Lady..not fair is it? By 9 months even the midwives said they couldn't remember the last time they saw a bump that big (in my defence I am slightly under 5ft and she was 9lb 9! ).

 

[Lucyad]

Thats a lovely little bump, DITZ! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Pedilia, you have no bump in theat photo at all!

 

[DavidH]

Good luck with the next few months

 

[5.7FB+16.2FC]

aww good luck with the babs!!! time will fly and before you know it you will been hooning about at a gallop again

 

[DITZ]

you should be hooning around again in time for most of the summer, then the xc season starts in autumn ! Hope to see you then

Indeed we will be!! Am gutted I am missing the RAF Cranwell one this year

oh, wow, how do you dismount?

With a lot of deliberation and the use of anything to climb up

is anyone going to excersize your horse for you or is he just going to live easy life for a bit

He'll be kept ticking over with gentle hacks by my YO just to keep him sane but essentially a well earned rest.

aah thats a great pic, I am planning to ride until I am 7 months as I have found with my others I can no longer get on/off much past that point!

Thats ridiculous Pedilla there is nothing on you!!

I(in my defence I am slightly under 5ft and she was 9lb 9! ).

One word. Ouch.

and i never got to play BSJA with him
Good luck with the next few months

I'm sure we'll see you soon Let me know if you're at VV in the near future. Dont think I'll be bringing him, as you can see from the pic he has ceased to look like a competitive horse already..

Neat bumps

However, Pedillia, it looks like you swallowed a very small grape

There is 'NO' bump!!!!!

The time will fly and you will soon be up there enjoying again, hope everything goes ok.

Just think, by the time you are riding again it will almost be SUMMER, and SUNSHINE, and longer evenings........WORTH THE WAIT

That's a very neat bump there - I hope all goes well and you will soon be posting a picture of your baby?
