Withdrawal symptoms

As usually happens at this time of year my life has got rather busy due to a) trying to get all my work done by the end of the year, b) Christmas parties and c) general socialising, shopping and good cheer. This has meant that I have not got to see my beloved big black monster as much as I would like (thats what comes when you live an hour away from the yard) and this week I have had to put him on full livery as I can't make it out to see him at all. Although I did see him on Sunday I am already missing him lots and so am spending my lunch breaks pouring over all the pictures of other people's horses on H&H in order to give myself some kind of equine fix. But the one good thing about being away from him is that it makes me all the more focused and determined to work harder next time I do get to ride. So stay tuned for more pictures of our jumping and dressage attempts when I get to go and see him again (hopefully with camera) next week.
