Coming back down to planet Earth

It's always like this after a Show, but it's a hell of a lot further to come down from the ultimate high of Best in Show at Chelsea.  This literally is back down to earth with a massive great bump.

It's like a runner who super-performs on the oxygen-deficient surge of adrenalin, only to have to recover from the build-up of lactic acid, which is far more painful and draining than the performance itself.

Thank God for the horses.  I've got a breeding championship in July, and another show in August that give me a channel to divert my energies into and keep me mind off the post Chelsea lull.  My only saving grace is that I declined any offers to do Hampton Court Palace this year.
