Prince Andrew has returned to horseback as he headed out for his early morning ride around Royal Lodge on Saturday.
It is the first time the Duke of York has been spotted since he narrowly avoided an embarrassing tumble after his horse was spooked during another morning ride through the Windsor estate on Monday.
The Duke of York, 64, was wrapped up warm in the same thin grey jacket he wore on Monday as he enjoyed his typical Saturday morning outing.
Images capture the dramatic scenes as the black mare began showing signs of distress, appearing to catch the duke by surprise and knock him off balance.

Prince Andrew was accompanied by a groom, and the pair chatted as they toured the royal estate.
The younger brother of King Charles has kept a low profile since his infamous 2019 Newsnight interview where he discussed his controversial friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein.
The interview received a huge public backlash, forcing the Duke of York to resign as a senior working royal.
He has since given up his royal titles and had his honorary military roles stripped by the late Queen.

He was also denied the right to wear his military uniform on several occasions, including as he followed his mother's coffin.
The King tried to evict his brother from the 30-room property, suggesting he downsize to Frogmore Cottage, previously resided in by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Andrew lost his right to taxpayer-funded security after being stripped of his royal duties.
An updated biography by royal commentator Robert Hardman alleged the monarch instructed his Keeper of the Privy Purse to sever Andrew's annual personal allowance.

However, Andrew has since proved he has sufficient funding from legitimate sources.
The Duke of York still resides in Royal Lodge with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, who is currently on a trip to Australia.
He is expected to accompany King Charles and the rest of the Royal family on their annual walk to St Mary Magdalene Church service on Christmas morning.
The duke will likely be joined by his two daughters, Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34.
