for those who don 't know she had a girl called Chloe
why havent you uploaded any more of your unstoppable equestrain episodes
Good question David! Since this 'Tips for Horse Riding while Pregnant' video I have shifted the way I share my videos. Over the last few years I have been sharing content via Facebook live videos. I have uploaded the links to a few of the earlier videos on my website dressageplus.com.au/unstoppable-equestrian-video-blog/ & you can watch the more recent ones on my facebook page facebook.com/dressageplusepc under the video section. :-)
I think it’s entirely up to the individual but I would say you really need to be riding a bomb proof horse that you trust with yours and baby’s life and even then there are risks of falls I wouldn’t do cantering atleast not fast anyway but I don’t see riding in an indoor spook free school I wouldn’t hack out on roads or anywhere because there is that higher risk of spooking xxx
Good points Patsy! It definitely comes down to that trust you have with your horse, doesn't it. Thanks for your comment 🙂
It’s my first pregnancy and in 2nd trimester. And i have never riden a horse before. Can i do it now under supervision?
Hello, unfortunately, I cannot answer this for you. If you feel comfortable & under safe & knowledgeable instruction, with a professional riding instructor, with quiet & well-educated horses then it could be possible. It is obviously up to you how comfortable & safe you feel. I would suggest making sure you are well informed about the potential risks of something going wrong as horses are unpredictable at times!
@@dressageplus6353 thankyou so much for replying. 🌸
Very helpfull tips…… thank you :)
Your more than welcome, glad it was helpful :-)
Great info in this video!
Glad you liked it Jeff 😊
A minute forty..... thanks lady. Hope your well here at the beginning of 2022 :)
Hi Amanda, did it take you a minute 40 seconds to do your 10 breaths? That's fantastic if so, the longer the better!
Thank you so much for this video!! We are planning to fall pregnant in the next few months and I'm a dressage rider. Just wanted reassurance that one can keep riding and it is doable. Thank you for the great tips!
Can a pregnant person still work or be around stables with horses?
Hi Amarilys, I guess it depends on the situation, persons experiences & horses temperament. I personally think it’s ok if the rider is experienced & the horses they are around are generally sensible & calm. Obviously it is up to the individual person& property owner to make the call. Hope this helps 😊
This is amazing! I’m 3 months pregnant and everyone told me to stop ridding but if I stick to my dressage work in the indoor I’ll be just fine.
Hi Olivia, glad this video has helped & given you the confidence to continue to ride safely in the indoor until you feel ready to have a break & enjoy just being pregnant! I’m assuming you have a lovely, reliable horse like I have? That will make it much easier to get back on post pregnancy as well 😊 Wishing you all the best on your journey 😍

This has helped me so much! I felt so on the fence about riding at all during pregnancy before i seen this
Hi Jamie, great to hear this video has helped you with your pregnant riding journey! How far along are you in your pregnancy now? 😊
Thank you so much for this. Xxx
Your welcome Danielle 😊
I’m 16 weeks pregnant and I’ve grown up riding and balance has always come natural to me and now more than a walk I get unbalanced and have done everything to try and fix it why is that ?
Hi Miranda, congratulations! Very exciting times ahead for you! I don’t know enough about pregnancy & am not medically trained so not the best person to answer your balance question sorry. You might be best to talk to your doctor about it. Our bodies change so much during pregnancy & everyone is different so I would suggest listening to your body & going with your instinct when it comes to riding & when to stop etc. Wish you all the best on your journey & would love to see baby photos once your bundle of joy arrives!
So I’m cruise and want to be safe if anything
Sorry, I just saw your message Cheyenne. Are you still pregnant or has your little bundle arrived? Did you ride while pregnant or take the time to yourself?
I’m 10 weeks and 6 days and in a few weeks my grandparents are going back to the navajo reservation and I want to ride my horse black bc it’s been a year since I’ve riden him
Congratulations Stoni on your pregnancy, exciting times ahead! It is a personal decision if you want to start riding again, I guess you need to weigh up your horses temperament & behavior, your riding level etc & how safe it is to start to ride again while pregnant etc. If you choose to wait until after your pregnancy it may feel like a while, but remember 9-12 months is not that long a time in regards to the amount of years you can ride for! Let me know if I can support you in any other ways.
I like your channel! You deserve more subs! A little tip, go and search for smzeus . c o m!! Really think that it could help you grow your channel quicker!!
Goob job! :) Keep it up! Would you like to be UA-cam friends? :]
PLs would you do some vids on trot - canter - canter trot - transitions. I appreciate your vid on correct breathing. I get concerned trying to go from trot to canter, mabe I need to get my sitting trot down better yes? Thank you for yor time, cheers.
Hi Amanda, thanks for your message. I will create a video on trot canter trans in the new year. Thanks for the topic idea!!
Hi Danielle, I was wondering if in one Dressage Plus episode you could talk about dealing with mindset around loading a horse that doesn't like the float? My mare refuses to go in the float which stresses me because I need to get her on to go for comps and lessons and she uses my stress against me and now I hate the float as much as she does. Help!
Hi Julia, what a great topic idea, I will create the next video series around how you can use and change your mindset to help achieve easy and relaxed float loading. Thanks for the great idea!
My 2019 goals are to compete my two horses Prelim and Novice for the first time as well as compete up to 90cm in the jump ring. Thanks so much Danielle for all your wonderful videos, they have helped me to improve my riding mindset so much and to perform much better 😊
Great goals Julia, thanks for sharing! Glad that you are getting so much out of the videos and growing and developing your mindset. :-)
Hey Danielle, nice to see your blog again! Big changes happening 😲 Great to see you and Rondo doing well! Allison (Alaska) 😊
Thank you so much, Danielle, I really appreciate you taking the time to address this issue. J.
hoppiification your more than welcome Jenni, glad it’s helpful!
Great work Danielle! How nice to see Sophie again 😄
Allycat Rich it sure was nice to see Sophie again, she’s looking great & so friendly & cute!!
Great advice, and I really appreciate your regular videos as well as your honesty. :)
hoppiification thanks for your message 😁
I'm pretty happy how 2017 went and 2018 is going to be awesome for us, 2017 I didn't get out and compete as much as I would of liked but I had a new awesome role to fill which did impact my ride time and made me think outside the box to find the time and motivation even when I was a bit tired :D I embraced looking after my grandson 3 day's a week ( I had forgotton how much work they are lol) then running our business ect But overall it gave me the time to really look at how we are training and set some goals. I've found an awesome dressage coach who I hope to have regular lessons with and help us through our journey, so a great start to 2018 with new coach, new float and reliable tow car :D I'm ready to travel with confidence to more comps or to clinics a bit further away from us. I also started a new mindset last year that get's stronger all the time, I say no a lot and have put my riding as a priority rather then doing what others want or suggest and this has been working out great.
Wow Kim, that is fantastic! Thanks for sharing! I love that you had an experience that got you thinking outside of the box! Bring on 2018!! Enjoy!
Well this maybe not much too others but today my instructor said we are going to do sit trot without stirrups :O I've done this before very very briefly with this horse and done it a lot with my previous older horse for years with no issues, but my brain and gut did not trust myself or my horse to not have a hissy fit and shoot off like he can on the odd occasion lol I just thought to myself well Kim if you don't do it now you will keep putting it off. I loved it and felt all my fear of this fade away within the first few steps of trot. My confidence just went right up and even if he had a little arab moment I feel I would be fine, but the thing is the more I trust him and go out of my comfort zone the more he is trusting me. Thankyou for all your video's they are very helpful :)
Hi Kim, Yay! That's fantastic that you trusted your boy & yourself and took action! Well done! Always the best feeling in the world after achieving something out of our comfort zone! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy that next level of confidence! Danielle
