Horse riding 

 

Horse riding can be safe and fun if your seizures are well controlled, or if you always have a useful warning before a seizure.

If your seizures could cause you to fall off a horse, you may be able to ride, but should be closely supervised by someone walking alongside the horse. You should always wear a riding hat. It would be a good idea to discuss horse riding with your own doctor if you have uncontrolled seizures.
