mutual grooming on a fine day in mid March

The year started well with lots of riding, massages and walks and with a plan to enter some dressage tests plus, hopefully, a bit of  local show-jumping by mid-summer. However, in mid-February my human picked up a nasty virus and took six weeks to recover.  Then the family had a very sad time and I just went out occasionally. An hour after the last photo in this post was taken I injured a hind leg; that was at the end of July and, for lots of reasons, I haven’t been ridden since.
