May in photos because I keep saying I will be better at posting but life just gets away from me. A couple of massage case studies, riding in Cornwall and Oxfordshire and a couple of different borrowed ponies for biggest helper. Really grateful for all the lovely people who have let me borrow horses for me and ponies for the kids. I wasn’t sure how it would be coming back to England after 10 years away and moving between areas, some of which I had no horsey contacts from the past but everyone has been so nice and welcoming

April in photos. Lots of hands on learning massage techniques and putting it into practice. Plus a bit of riding for me and the little helpers. And the best thing was so much sunshine! I feel like the English weather is conspiring to make me want to stay!

All go here. Passed my practical assessment this morning and straight onto the first of 5 case studies I need to compete. Missy the fluffy Connie was very happy to be practiced on

I promise I haven’t just been cuddling cute ponies this week! I’ve been learning so much on my massage therapy training course and lots more to come. Very exited for when I can get out and start treating horses.

Today was a good day. Early morning ride with Vinnie for me, no.1 little helper had his first hack and my boots arrived. Very happy with my bargain almost new boots. It’s been a long time since I had proper long boots to ride in

Met the lovely Vinnie today a very handsome ex racehorse who luckily for me his owner would like a little bit of help keeping him fit. It will also be good for me as I was quite puffed after just a short schooling session today. Definitely hasn’t been enough time in the saddle recently!

More exploring of muddy Cornwall on horseback today. So happy to share part of it with little helper no.1 joining me for our first ride together. He told me afterwards it was his favourite part of the day so maybe there is hope he will be a rider after all.
All good fun, even including my tactical dismount after getting wiped out by a low tree branch

Very far from a thoroughbred, very unmatching and still missing my chaps but very happy to have found horses to ride after a few months off. It’s been tricky with moving around a lot and having the kids at home full time and studying but making it work for a once a week trip out. It’s so nice being able to ride straight out on the lanes and onto bridleways here.
Annie Cob was more sprightly that she looked and we had a good couple of canters along the way

I have absolutely loved being back at the track recently after almost two years off. Thanks to Clotworthy Racing for having me back and getting me going again.
I stopped very early in my second pregnancy as I totally lost my nerve and literally gave up part way through a morning of riding in tears convinced that was my last ever ride on a racehorse because I was so terrified. After so long away I wasn't sure how it would go, but apart from not being able to walk for several days after my first morning back it's been great. No nerves at all and despite being a lot less fit than previously actually think I'm riding better than I ever have. Shout out to all the mums out there who have come back riding as it's not always easy. Now there will be a short break while we get set up in England, then hopefully will find some racehorses to keep me going while studying
