She was better again. Very relaxed following me calmly. I took off the rope and she stood with me. As I started to walk on she walked at the side of me, about 3 ft away. I walked a circle, then changed direction, she followed my signal. Back on to a circle, I positioned myself back towards her quarters and raised the whip very slightly, level with her pastern, at the same time moving into a slow trot ( I'm sure it's hilarious to watch!), she was very attentive and as soon as I did this she started to trot slowly at the side of me. I trotted a circle and then deliberately came back to a walk, she did the same, then to halt, she copied me instantly. I am so pleased with her.
The sun had peeped from behind a cloud, I was feeling good so I brought my boy onto the yard. He's just coming up 3 so starting a little groundwork, asking for halt and walk on. He was so calm, such a good boy, it's hard to believe that this is the same little chap we saw born not so long ago, and would you believe it for the first time in his life he's gone croup high.
