Great horse pics. I rode until my late teens and have done the odd hack with my DD1 who also rode until she went off to Uni and lessons got too expensive. She bought me a Mother's Day present about 8 years ago of a hack at a local hotel stables followed by a cream tea. That was the last time I rode.

I now have two days off so can chill out a bit.I have booked Wednesday off as AL because I feel like I need a short break, its only an 8 hour shift so I'm not using up too much AL. So I am now working Monday then I don't have to go back until Saturday 🎉🎉
