From your previous post you said you 'lost the baby on the way to the hospital'. You said you were 8 months pregnant and had a miscarriage. So what is it? Are you just looking for attention again?

So I take it by your title question you are saying you are pregnant and then you are being told you can not ride your horse??
Or is this the horse is pregnant and your parents are saying not to ride a pregnant horse?
Judging by you saying "He" needs the work, I assume the later.
For a pregnant horse, doing light work, you can ride her up to month before her due date.
For a pregnant human, you best check with your physician on what they would suggest is safe. I have many dedicated horse-women who continue to ride while pregnant, some even experiencing falls.
Safety first.

umm you are the pregant one right. well if you are over 8 months preg i would say not to ride.that is what the doctors told my friend. but the baby is very well protected just make sure you wont' come off or you could lose the baby. i would not risk it.but that is just me.. i mean if you are like 2 to 5 months i would ride. i mean if you know he is save there is work you can do when you can't ride. like lunging and playing games. email me and i will scan a article about it. i have in one of my mags it helps a lot. i could not ride when i broke my knee and my arm so i know how it is not to ride.

I wouild suggest lounging the horse if you are pregnant. Or possibly leasing it out.
If the horse is pregnant. She can be ridden up to 7 months a long.
Good luck with eitheiir pregnancy. It will be a cute baby!

If you are pregnant, (which I am guessing because you refered to your horse as "he") and you cannot ride, you could consider a half-lease. This way, someone who wants to ride frequently, but can't afford their own horse, would be able to ride your horse and give him the exercise he needs. Also, you could offer the lease at your barn, and that way you would be able to check on your horse everyday.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!

Either turn the horse out in a big feild, cutt back his feed and limit his "supervised" exercise to lungingeing and hand walking, and other ground work. (he should be fine on free choice hay, salt, and water, maybe a TINY bit of grain)
OR find someone else to ride him, I'm sure you could find good riders who are currently horseless, and the change of pace will probably do him good.
