Rosie Retiring....

[booner]

Announced in the winner's circle after the Distaff that tomorrow is her last day as she and hubby Joe Sharp are starting a family...

Even though she wasn't feeling well last Saturday, she still took the time to stop and let me get a picture of her with my daughter. Very nice and all class.

Congrats to Rosie and Joe and hope all goes well!!

Whenever I told my wife the news, she said she had a feeling that's what was going on. I told her she is redboarding.....

hmm call me skeptic but the over under is 2 years before she is riding again.

She's pregnant and riding????!!!! Sorry, but in a sport that has an ambulance chasing riders as they ride, I don't know how responsible (wise) that is. Congrats, of course. But why take the risk?

That was just normal behavior

The embryo is about the size of a chickpea at seven weeks. The only way riding would be dangerous if if she were in a serious spill that also seriously damaged her pelvic area and in that case, the miscarriage is the least of her problems.

If a simple fall off a horse at seven weeks could cause miscarriage, trail riding stables would be making a fortune. Rosie wasn't being irresponsible.

You can't live your life waiting for something catastrophic to happen.

As a women who's birthed a baby, I think it's completely fine to continue to do whatever you do as long as you feel good enough to do it and your doctor clears you. Yes, should could fall and bad things happen. But she could fall in the shower, get in a car accident, slip on ice or trip over her dog. She could also do everything perfect and bubble wrap herself and miscarry. It's one of those situations where you just have to do what you feel comfortable with.

More power to her. Some women are puking their guts out in the first tri. Guess that helps her make weight though? Haha

It isn't really being a "skeptic" because she left the door open for a return. She said she had no current plans to ride again but "can't promise to stay off a horse forever."
So yeah, it sounds like a comeback in a couple years if certainly a possibility.

Well it's back to biology class for me! Never been pregnant... hopefully one day soon. I wish her well... and absolutely, you can't live your life thinking about what could go wrong!

Cheers

julie krone came back for a little bit after retiring ? no ?

and Rosie Homeister is back riding too now.

Rosie left the door open;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Napravnik

After her win in the 2014 Breeders' Cup Distaff, Napravnik announced she was seven weeks pregnant and taking a "retirement" of "indefinite" duration from race riding following the 2014 Breeders' Cup

[deltagulf]

I believe she will work with Joe at the barn. And enjoy her family life..
Thats Rosie on a horse at the Fair Grounds last meet.

DRF|Napravnik's future in the sport is the great unknown

On a recent morning at the Trackside training center, where Napravnik was finishing up another busy session of training Thoroughbreds alongside her husband of three years, trainer Joe Sharp, she seemed very much at ease with this abrupt change of life.

“I think there’s a lot more I could accomplish if I were to come back,” she said. “But I don’t know how I’ll feel in a year or three years or however long it might be, if I’ll be itching to get back into the starting gate or if I’ll be consumed with raising children. Joe and I have seriously talked about having more than one child, so I don’t know. Nobody knows.”
