Presidential Candidate Mimics A Sex Act

Is it safe to ride a horse when pregnant?
For clarity, I am not planning on either!
A friend is currently 37 weeks pregnant, and is still riding her horse on a regular basis. Now, I am a big supporter of "her body, her pregnancy, her baby, her choice", so I'm not looking to criticise her. Just would like someone to ease my concerns really.
I can't really talk to her directly about this, as I don't want her to feel I'm attacking her.

As I say, I'm not looking to interfere at all, or judge her choices. Just a little concerned.
Hopefully baby will appear in the next few weeks, and all will be well.
Any exercise that is done before pregnancy is fine to during pregnancy. Always confirm with health care provider though. Horse riding is ok with care. I would be concerned in case the horse is spooked, runs away or is ridden in heavy traffic. A heavy fall in late pregnancy would be a cause of concern in case of damage to the placenta as would a severe kick in the abdominal area
