        sports are safe during the first 2 trimesters as long as there is no
        risk of impact or trauma. Horse riding however, poses risks both from
        falls and from kicks, and there are also theoretical risks from
        recurrent impact during riding in women prone to pre-term labour. It
        is apparent both from personal experience, and from the experience of
        others, that in a healthy uncomplicated pregnancy, horse riding per se
        does not cause any obstetric problems unless an accident occurs. Some
        horses are safer than others but no horse should be considered safe: all
        horses are potentially lethal animals. Prevention of accidents and
        injuries is dependent upon using knowledge obtained from studying
        activities involving horses.  Provided
        the pregnant woman is aware of the risks involved, the decision to
        continue riding or handling horses remains hers alone. However, from the
        equestrian establishment’s point of view, pregnant women should be
        discouraged from show jumping or cross country events.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4C071482-8615-45AE-9C71-F391FC21C8E8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
