How soon can I ride horses?

Horse riding involves a great deal of physical effort. The up and down movement can easily start bleeding. You should not ride for at least four weeks. At four weeks walking is usually possible but you should not trot or canter for six weeks. Once the surgery has completely healed there is no restriction on any kind of riding, jumping or eventing.

After abdominoplasty most people begin regular riding around six weeks.
