Picking the reins back up

A consequence of having Iris in my life for the last few weeks is that in having a green but fundamentally uncomplicated horse to ride I have really recovered so much of my horsemanship mojo. I didn't stop teaching, but I had only really kept working with Anne, who I have been working with for a couple of years now. After coming back from Australia I went over and visited with ellie_equus and her pony Chester ( who both did great ) and in the last few weeks I have picked up another regular student with someone else having got in touch the other day. I haven't really been pushing my services, so it's interesting that this should happen now.
