You can ride the mare up until she is five months pregnant.
You stop riding it!
In the very early stages of pregnancy it is ok to ride them but i would suggest only lightly. Further along though you should not ride a pregnant horse for it may put you, your horse, and your horses unborn foal in danger.
Get off and lead the horse back to the paddock. If it is too far to walk, remain mounted and allow the horse to move at its own pace, no faster than a walk. If a shoe fell off, it could mean that the hoof has split. That, in turn, can lead to a permanent -- even life-threatening -- injury.
You cannot necessarily half halt a horse. You can slow him down. Halt means stop completely and there is no way for a horse to be partially stopped. By pulling tenderly on the reins you can slow him down as quickly or as slowly as you want depending on your level of strength and speed you use to transfer your message to the horse through his reins.
You don't have to wear chaps when riding, it mostly depends on where you are going to be. If you are going to be riding where there is a lot of brush you might want to wear them, just remember that if the brush hurts you it could also hurt your horse. It can also save your legs from being rubbed against the saddle.
If your horse is scraching it's back feet when riding you need to either get splint boots or bell boots. Look it Up...
You stop riding it!
You should stop them, then walk them back to their stall and leave them there until the shoe can be replaced. Have a vet check for damage.
No this will not effect your baby .. around 5 months you need to stop riding if you are pregnant until then , for safety you need to wear a vest, a helment, and go slower just in case for your sake
It means to stop suddenly, not to get to the goal. To pull up is a horse riding term meaning to pull on the reins to make the horse stop.
To help stop pollution, and save you money, you can try riding a bike, taking public transportation, walking, or reverting society back to the horse and wagon.

You don't... you wait it out, and help the horse Recover... Dont start riding your horse till the vet or farrier has said that you can start to bring it slowing back it too work. Not hard walk though ( just a short trail ride everyday. if your horse gets sore from you riding it you should stop straight away. but you have too wait till the horse has fully recovered.
If you mean when should you stop riding a horse that is in foal(?) Then that would be up to the 9th month of the pregnancy. After that the mare is carrying too much weight on her own body to safely and comfortably accommodate a humans weight.
It isn't a matter of age, it's a matter of attitude, you can stop when you're 6 or when you're 96.
because when you want the horse to stop it hurts a little when you pull on the reins its a sign that you want your horse to listen to you and to slow down.
