I haven't gotten a chance to ask my surgeon yet about how long till I can ride my horse after surgery. Are there any horse riders who know what is the wait time for riding again? I'm almost afraid to ask for fear of the answer being longer than I'm OK with.
Thanks in advance

Re: horseback riding?
what kind of surgery are you having
Re: horseback riding?
So far it's only upper jaw surgery. They're moving my jaw up to fix an open bite. The Dr mentioned real quick that I might want to do a genio but I don't know enoigh yet to make that decision.
I can't imagion not riding for months waiting to recover. My horse is my prozac.

Re: horseback riding?
I was told 6 months until moderate impact sports. You should ask your surgeon or their office, I would have thought they'll tell you straight away...

4 months after I had surgery (upper/lower/genio) - I went to run back to the car when it started to rain and it wasn't pleasant.
I'd get the go ahead from the surgeon. I think you should be fine walking the horse, but trotting or running, I think will make you extremely uncomfortable.
