2 years ago today, Pea and I moved back “home” . If you know me or you know our story, we had moved away to pursue a dream job but came back to weather the storm of my hip replacement. Although it was a time of uncertainty (and pain!) we were both so happy to be back in our safety net. Now all the people and the places I care about are vulnerable and it is quite frankly terrifying. I thought 2 years ago I was riding the biggest bump in the road but it was nothing compared to this . #madness #coronavirus #uncertaintimes #wholenewworld #hipreplacement #totalhipreplacement

Reasons to be cheerful: 1. Pea 2. Sunshine 3. Living a short walk from Pea 4. Working outside 5. Being healthy (so far) . Your turn! . #reasonstobecheerful #mypony #thesunisshining #brightsunshinyday

Boris said to go for a walk so we went for a walk . I could have cried - Pea went in the river for the first time since Christmas (it was too cold and too deep for months) and she was so happy . #countyourblessings #lookonthebrightside #coronavirus #socialdistancing #essentialexercise #lowerslaughter #cotswoldlife

Despite most people saying I should carry on riding, I decided to walk instead. It is not going to harm us, it is good exercise and ultimately it is reducing the risk of me needing medical attention . I also managed a yard trip where the only communal things I touched were the gate to the yard and the gate to the field . #dowhatyoucan #everylittlehelps #socialdistancing #coronavirus #reducingtherisk #stopandthink

Should we still be riding? I really enjoyed my ride last night but this morning I’m feeling conflicted. I haven’t fallen off in years but if I did and I ended up in hospital I’d feel SO guilty. What do you think? . #conflicted #coronavirus #socialdistancing #shouldwestopriding

The @britishhorse society are advising that us horse owners write care plans for our horses. Care plans generally ensure that consistency is kept so with this in mind, Pea’s care plan is as follows: . -Visit at unsociable hours to shine a torch in her face . -Attempt a regular riding rota but regularly work overtime instead . -Make her work hard for her carrots so she wants to bite your hand off . -Smother her with hugs, kisses and sniffs . #mygirl #ilovemypony #simplepleasures #coronaviruslifestyle
