Can it hurt the baby to ride a horse in the last trimester of your pregnancy?

I would say that it is generally unsafe to ride a horse during the third trimester of pregnancy. The uterus at this point is stretched to its maximal point, and is very sensitive to any sort of movement. Any sort of jarring motion can, under certain circumstances, initiate a premature delivery. Premature deliveries are risky for a baby.
