It was lovely to be back though and see the stunning countryside which has grown more beautiful with the rain as everything is so green and the leaves are now all out on the trees.

Horses on holiday

Beautiful views on my evening walk to check the youngsters

Today we are only taking Nelson to Garthorpe as it is too soft for Jess and Budge. It would have been fine for Burrows Spring but annoyingly she rapped her back legs whilst schooling on Friday and she is a bit sore on them. We had to get a different jockey in because Tom McClorey, her normal jockey still isn't 100% fit after breaking his wrist, and her and the new jockey just didn't click.Added to this she is spot on in season which probably didn't help.
