Pregnancy and leasing
Hi all,
Wondering peoples thoughts on this.
I’m an adult amateur and finally feel ready to lease. I would have leased earlier but recently moved.
I am hoping to get pregnant in the next year. Not sure when/if it will happen (I’m older).
I’ve read a lot about how a lot of GYNs are ok with riding as long as it’s nothing crazy till 4-6 months (I’ve read some people ride for longer!)
My questions are:
- What would your comfort be if you were leasing a horse and if you found out that person got pregnant? Would you terminate right away or allow the person to ride based on her doctors recommendations?
- Does a typical leasing contract mention anything about pregnancy? I would assume not but I actually have no idea. I’ve seen trail riding places deny pregnant women. Never noticed it any other contracts with trainers I’ve signed.
In general I’m hoping to lease a chill horse that’s safe. I’m not interested in any speed events. Just want a horse to bond with really and to keep working on my seat/time in the saddle.
Thanks for reading!
