Horse riding has definitely benefitted me on the skiing front too; being a lot fitter and having 'trim' leg muscles helped me tackle even trickier terrain and moguls better this time. I also didn't feel such 'thunder thighs' after a few days of skiing, when my leg muscles suddenly decide to expand, but actually my legs just took all the skiing in their stride and I could still fit in my jeans on the way home –Yay! Thank goodness for our equine friends who keep us fit!
Will be getting back in to horsey stuff in the coming weeks and will keep you posted. Here a few pics from the day before I went away, as Rainbow was having her shoes done and it was such a warm day, I had to take a few snaps. Felt like the first day of spring. It went downhill from there, as, this Sunday, most of Oxfordshire received a freakish dump of snow! I saw some pictures on Facebook. However, it disappeared as quickly as it had arrived. No sign of it by the time we got home.

I know it's a horsey blog but here a picture of me on top of a glacier in Tignes – one of the resorts we skied in. (The peaks in the background are distant mountains... Not sure the depth aspect in this photo is quite right, but hope it makes sense.)
While I was whizzing down the mountains, Rainbow was kept relatively busy. I received a lovely update from Annika, a text which read:
Hi mummy. Just had a lovely hack. Was really brave last Friday and jumped big jumps with Annika. Hope you are having a great holiday. See you soon. Love, Rainbow.
