Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi fled the US even before the old sheriff – otherwise known as Donald Trump – rode back into town.
But now, horse-loving Ally McBeal star is back in the saddle, ‘living her dream’.
The couple recently moved from the Cotswolds farmhouse they snapped up for £15million last year to a single-storey, 11,000 sq ft courtyard home nearby.
It has what Ellen called ‘a horse facility’ because, she said: ‘Portia couldn’t live without her horses’.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the ex-chat show host, 67, shared a sweet snap of her wife horse riding in the English countryside.
Portia, 52, appeared completely in her element as she beamed for the camera while on her trusty steed.

Alongside the post, Ellen penned: ‘Portia’s living her dream riding her horse through the English countryside and into the village.
‘Gosh I hope she comes home soon.’
It comes after Ellen and Portia celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary earlier this week.
The comedian marked the occasion by posting a sweet video from their wedding day to Instagram.
In the clip, Ellen and Portia are at first seen in casual clothing as they survey the preparations at their home.
Pink flowers are brought in and the crystal is placed on tables with name cards and silverware for dozens of guests.
The caption was brief: ‘Happy 17th anniversary of the best day of my life. Portia, I love you more everyday. #MarriageForAll.’
She then tagged fashion designer Zac Posen and singer-songwriter Joshua Radin.

This comes after news that the power couple are selling their home in the UK just a year after they bought it because they needed more space.
The pair moved to Britain in 2024 and snapped up a 43-acre estate in the Cotswolds for £20 million, but they have now put the property on the market for £22.5 million because they needed to move to a bigger house to accommodate Portia’s horses which they have flown over from the US.
Ellen explained the decision in a statement given to the Wall Street Journal via realtors Sotheby’s: ‘When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn’t live without her horses.
‘We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them.’
Ellen and Portia said goodbye to the US and moved to the UK ‘for good’ earlier this year, which she has confirmed was in response to the election of President Donald Trump.
Asked this year if she was staying in the UK because of Trump, she replied: ‘Yes. We were hopeful for [Democratic presidential nominee] Kamala [Harris]. We were very hopeful and we thought at least let’s get a place here.’

She and Portia opted to settle in the Cotswolds, a popular spot for wealthy Londoners to keep second homes.
‘The idea was that we would be here for three or four months of the year — but always when we came here we loved it and we thought it was beautiful,’ Ellen shared.
‘We thought when I stopped the show [Ellen’s eponymous US talk show] one day, that it was so beautiful here that we would get a farm here and then go back there.
‘And we got here the day before the election. We woke up to lots of texts from our friends and crying emojis. And we were like, “He [Trump] got in. So we are staying here. We are not going back. We are not leaving.”‘
