I have honestly done absolutely nothing, but go to work Monday - Friday, working insanely long hours, and then not leave my house Saturday and Sunday!
Fortunately there is still so much work to do around the yard, and I am incredibly lucky to have my horses at home!
One thing I have really enjoyed recently though, is just spending time with them out in the field! I think they are as bored as I am, and will run over the minute I go out to them. We also have a new little 6:30am routine, where I will go and lay in the grass with them while they are still in bed!

Work has got a little quieter, and we have spent what we had saved for work around the yard, so here's to hoping I can get my bum back in the saddle very soon.

The tables seem to have turned as to which horse is naughtiest now. Shockingly despite Bob ripping yet another of Autumn’s rugs (think that’s 6 this year already), Autumn has taken on the title as most troublesome! In the last few weeks she has taken on full diva status!
We’ve compiled a list of some of the main things you should be aware of, divided into three categories: horse welfare, horse management, and horse riding.
