Surely it was the obvious choice for any horsey girl it’s got A PONY as its symbol ?

Wow Arizona is beautiful. The houses, the scenery. It’s so green everywhere and the Cacti are just awesome!
If it wasn’t so ridiculously hot for 6 months of the year I think I’d have moved here instead.

Sounds like you have both settled straight in and living the dream. The photo updates are fantastic you might have to be careful I may want to visit!

What a fab post this is, thanks M hope you continue to have adventures and share with us it brightens the wet and windy days over in the UK.

Ah mud, splendid
That's the amazing thing about the US - any climate, landscape or architecture you can think of, they've got it somewhere. It's easy to understand why so many Americans never go abroad.

My husband wanted to buy one and I was dead against it (in the UK, it is huuuuge) but then I saw the galloping pony lights and so now we own a Mustang ??

It did make me laugh on my last trip to the states that the only people driving mustangs seemed to be the tourists! Every single scenic lookout pull off from California to New Mexico there was a line of them parked up. (I’ll confess I was jealous as we had a bog standard car).

Just ever so slightly envious! Love the photos, I do sometimes wish the we had as much choice in our shops here!

These updates are definitely brightening up (and providing vicarious travel for) dark old November. I can't match with a photo but I want to send right back to you the absolutely amazing, beautiful Welsh mountains on a bright sunny day. 
I am blown away by their beauty, colour and changeability. That is when I am not either being blown sideways, crouched facing horizontal rain or cursing my silly horses for churning up their bog of a field.
Can't wait for more Boggle updates and more USA travel pics

Totally with you there P. As much as I can admire the amazing landscape of somewhere like Colorado, it's the green, soggy hills and trees of of home that will always have hold of my soul.

And me too. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t had a few days recently where I’ve wobbled a little. But no regrets. Mainly seeing Facebook memories and Insta of my friends at home (especially as one has Bear and Pepper!). I’ve been so busy I haven’t thought much about the fact I’ve actually left.
I am looking forward to seeing my friends in Mexico next week as think it’ll be very grounding. Weirdly today I’m having to swallow a lump in my throat a fair bit! I miss my doggie.
And I need to get on some skis, asap.

It will be lovely for you to meet up with friends and if this week has been wobbly, it's just part of the adjustment process. Hopefully soon you can see your dog too. Please also remember just how dreary the UK can be at this time of year; that should help!!

Oh for sure. I think also because my UK friends were such deep strong friendships it means it’s easy to feel lonely here however social I am. I was lucky to have such amazing friendships and people who knew me inside out just down the road! But I knew what I was giving up and I certainly don’t regret my move, I’m loving it 99% of the time. Maybe more?

I'm not taking bets on you ever coming back permanently, with the personal and business opportunities you have over there.
Living your updates, vicariously. That was a typo of loving, but it works better as it is!

Waffled a lot!
I love Arizona too! Phoenix was another of my favourite flights. Super people there too. Even though it’s incredibly hot, it’s much more bearable than the likes of Florida and South Carolina where it’s also humid. When I’ve ridden in Phoenix the ranches said they moved their horses up to Flagstaff in the summer.

Oh wow - do they follow a trail?
You are going to take Bog though aren't you? He'd never forgive you for going to a party without him!

I never even knew hunting was a thing in the US!

They hunt coyote. No trail. Don’t think they ever catch them tbh ? hunt tea is a full on affair with so much alcohol and food and they all swap their black jackets for tweed for it specifically! Lovely friendly hunt, such great people. Limited day caps though and very expensive to subscribe.
I don’t think I’d risk Bog but you never know, you have to be on a very savvy horse with the amount of prairie dog holes and I feel like it’s so open he might well not listen to me to guide around them (they are fairly obvious). I’d love to take him but it definitely wouldn’t be this season if I ever did! Hard work for them when he’s just moved over.
