I am not riding as much as normal at the moment – work is still a bit strange and stressful  and when I get home all I really want to do is collapse in a heap.  I am therefore mostly riding on my days off.  I am hopeful that will change soon but for the moment that is how I am coping.

However, when I do ride I am so grateful that I can.  There is nothing quite like taking Galahad out for a hack to make me relax and calm down a bit.  We are not going as far as we might otherwise have done but it is so peaceful poddling along the lanes.  Ponies really are the best kind of therapy.
