We have 4 horses, it's quite hard work and sometimes I think it is too much for me.
Today I took Anky on to the yard with just her bridle on. We did the raising of the bit and she was nicely relaxed, tried some flexions, good, lots of moisture and relaxation in the mouth.
I was standing quietly at her side and it suddenly occurred to me that not too long ago , when I brought her on to the yard she was very restless, looking around, worried,didn't want to stand still, and now she was standing quietly, mouthing on the bit, focussed on me(well, probably on the rewards, but, hey, I can live with that!).
I felt good, it swept over me like a wave. (sounds corny , doesn't it) and I knew, what I've always known, that one little moment makes it all worthwhile!
