Horseriding Zara

And my legs do work independently of each other. (I'm sorry, I couldn't keep that in!)

Tegan you forgot the ditch in front of the fence as well.

Comedians would pay for this material

Sorry; I thought 3 day eventers hurled horses at 5 foot fences on a regular basis . My mistake. What I probably meant was 5 foot high, 5 foot wide and with a lake on the other side....

I already mentioned that, Aka! Do keep up....

Didn't you have a basket on your bike J0?

Tegan she's a three-day eventer not a b****y national hunt jockey!

Under one arm....!

I have had a good laugh imagining jingle on a bike with a new born.

Well , if she is her Mothers daughter .

I did my way , springs to mind

The poor girl who is in intensive care after the horse trials at Tweseldown is one reason why a pregnant woman might not want to ride.
One of my friends rode all through her pregnancy and was told by the midwife that she would have a difficult birth because her pelvic floor was so tough! It was a bit late to do anything about it then

I'd assume that Zara's idea of 'riding' is probably hurling horses at 5 foot fences on a regular basis.

What I read is that she was ignoring NHS [general] advice not to ride during pregnancy, not that she has actually been personally advised not to ride. If she's anything like what I was when pregnant, she'll be 'doing it by instinct' and not reading any general advice.

I did go to ante-natal clinics, even though my GP told me I was "the sort of woman who didn't need to go to ante-natal clinics."

My GP brother's attitude was do it if you feel like it. Stop when you don't feel like it. About anything you wished to do when pregnant. That's longhand for saying do it by instinct.

We don't actually know if she might have had a few problems during the early stages of the pregnancy; in fact there are a lot of things that may be relevant to the advice given that would not be disclosed to anyone.

Good one, jings!

Oh no - another illusion destroyed....

I can't believe that you believed that!!!

I'm sorry. I am a lying cow.

Weren't you sore down under? Lucky you if not.

On the bike, not over your arm!

I can't imagine how you did it, jings! Did you ride one-handed?

A basket would have been better...

I stood up when I went over bumps too, jings, as I said earlier. #readthebloodythread! So do horseriders.

They wouldn't let you cycle home with a baby under your arm nowadays.

I think childbirth does all the excessive stretching, jings. Anything other than that is peanuts, so to speak.

jess, I guess that means the writer of the news item I read is pretentious, and so am I for not correcting the word. Do I care what JB thinks? Nope

Don't give a damn what's u and what isn't

I always stood up on my bike when I went over bumps. You don't want to stretch anything unnecessarily.You could get trouble later on, after menopause.
