Hi all,
Not sure if I’m posting in the right place, so apologies in advance. Not really a health issue but seemed the most suitable place to post!
Does anybody use a snowboarding/skiing back protector for riding? Is it suitable for riding?
I’m after a vest/waistcoat type back protector as I’ve just had my first baby (a gorgeous little boy, who is now 9 weeks old) I have my fairly standard body protector but it’s actually a kids size one and I know it definitely won’t fit me now, especially on the bust (which was once nonexistent, now fairly ample, for me, anyway!) And I don’t want anything constricting and restrictive over my chest because I don’t want to impact my milk production.
I’m itching to get back on my horse, but he’s an OTTB and there’s a chance he’ll be fresh (any horse with that amount of time off could be; I stopped riding as soon as I found out I was pregnant; personal choice
) and I don’t want to take a chance now I’m a Mummy.
All of the horseriding vest style back protectors I’ve seen have been a bit out of my budget but the skiing ones have been more affordable. Would they be suitable, or should I just bite the bullet and fork out for a proper equestrian one?
Thanks in advance!
