Ugh, I thought I was going to poop in my pants during a 1.5 hour walk. Really jostled things around. Then I got to the toilet and not much came out.

Any input on whether you can enjoy horseback riding if you have UC?

I haven't but I don't see why it would be a problem if you're in remission. I have a friend who rides, she's had UC for a long time and I don't think the UC is what stops her from riding, I think it's mostly the fatigue and general malasie that stops her.

Man, sometimes just turning over in bed jostles things enough so that I have to race to the bathroom. And sometimes running is no problem. I can never tell.

I would avoid it if you have a hemmie. =P

I ride my horse 3 or 4 times a week. We jump fences, ride on the flat in an arena and do trail rides. Sometimes I'm on my horse for 3 or 4 hours at a time. I've never had urgency while on my horse. I've had to run to the bathroom before I've started my ride and right when I've gotten off. But it's never happened during a ride. I think that's because I'm concentrating so much on what I'm doing. I always wear a pad though just in case I have an accident.
