Farmer Wants a Wife star Claire Saunders has had to learn to do one thing all over again since moving to Andrew Coleman’s farm.
The popular contestant took to her Instagram stories on Thursday to explain that she had gone for a run for the first time in months.
Filming along a red dirt track as she began her exercise, Claire wrote: “First run since my accident, and how much does starting from scratch suck?”

The post concluded with a sweating face emoji.
It’s the first time Claire had been able to go for a run since injuring her leg in a horse-riding accident earlier this year.
Her injury was revealed when she hobbled on to the set of the Farmer Wants a Wife reunion special on crutches and with a bandaged shin.
She had fallen off a horse while riding with friends and had to be airlifted to hospital, as Farmer Andrew explained to host Samantha Armytage on the reunion episode.
“She was out horse riding with some friends and it resulted in her being airlifted to hospital,” he said.
“She’s okay, she’s recovering.
“It was a shock initially and it reinforced those feelings that I had – and cemented those feelings I guess.
“Sometimes it might take that sort of thing to happen to make you realise, I am in love with Claire.”
Posting to Instagram after the episode aired, Claire shared several confronting photos from the day.
“Thank you for all the messages. My legs are almost 100 per cent better now,” she wrote on her stories.
“Here are some pics my bestie took of me being high on the green whistle.”
Speaking about her relationship with Andrew during the reunion episode, Claire said: “The way that he makes me feel is like I’ve never felt before, there’s nothing I don’t love about you.”
“I even love the way you wake me up in the morning, he doesn’t stop talking,” she added.
“Could you believe it?
“He starts talking at 6 o’clock and goes, ‘Are you awake?’
“I’m definitely in love with Andrew.
“I couldn’t be happier. You’re my favourite person and that’s exactly what I was looking for”.
“I feel the same,” he responded.
