I would ask your doctor, but I think up to 11 weeks is ok as baby is tucked in well, but after that definitely not as the ride can actually cause the placenta to pull away from the uterus, not to mention the possibility of falling. Honestly I would just stay away from riding until after you are cleared by your doctor after birth.

Not safe anymore, sorry! I love horse riding too and we'll just have to put it aside for some months now!
