Hee hee!!! :-)

Another beautiful morning, sunny and warm.
I took Anky out again and it was great! A couple of hesitant moments, but that was all. She felt soft and forward going. She was alert, but not tense. The ride only took us about 35 minutes, farther than yesterday, around the little lake, past the stone cutters building and back down the lane. I was smiling all the way round. Hee hee!!!
Corky was ready booted when we returned ( Jim's really getting the hang of the boots now)so we went off for our walk with Remy.
He was a little hesitant this morning, but followed calmly, investigating everything as usual.Our neighbour was in her garden as we passed, so we stopped to have a little chat and to introduce her to Remy , then further down the track towards the little wood. This is where the electric fence is and the last thing I want is for Remy to touch it. Remy and I have been taking the lead on our walks, but just to be safe Jim and Corky went on the side nearest the fence and we walked down the track side by side. Unfortunately I forgot about the silage bales on the other side of the hedge which suddenly came into view! Remy was worried by them and his little eyes came out on stalks, he didn't do anything silly but backed away a little - towards the fence. I asked him to stand and he calmed so we walked on a few more yards before turning back towards home. I love the way he deals with new things, no over reacting, just calmly accepting and trusting that he's perfectly safe. Another big smile on my face!

I'm off to see a friend this morning who's recovering from a broken leg - Ouch!!! , I haven't seen her for a while and I know she's been doing a lot with her youngster, so I reckon we'll be chatting for ages about the progress of our gorgeous horses!
