Can't get out of bed??

I overslept this morning and raised my lazy bones at 10 am!
After the obligatory cup of tea I went to the stables, groomed Remy and took him out for a short in-hand session. If I do nothing else I've decided that I must do this most days. We could hear shots from the chasse, not too close and Remy remained calm. We worked on walk halt transitions again and then I started moving him around the area at his shoulder. His halts were quite good and he remained focussed. His rein backs were very good today so I was pleased with him.
I went over to Trudis' yesterday and after a lovely chatty lunch we played with her boys Moo and Chapiro. I tried some in-hand work with Moo and I have to say he's a very tolerant chap. The benefits of In-hand for both horse and handler are obvious, It's quite a new thing for me but I can see how much it has helped Moo with his flexibility and carriage. I'm looking forward to doing more with Remy and Anky.
After my session with Remy I groomed Anky and did some stretches and flexions with her. Bonbon was poking her nose over the wall and wanted some attention and as I can never resist her we did some stretches too, one side and then the other, through the front legs etc. I also asked her to lower her head by using the headcollar, bringing her nose to the ground and stretching over her neck. She's a smart cookie, no problems with that. Of course the click treating helps. She can be a little bit impatient and insistent when treating so I've been extra vigilant not to let her get away with it and she's getting much better and becoming much more polite.lol  Didn't get to ride, though I wanted to. The noise from the chasse in the distance helped to make my mind up on that one.

We've been invited to "Aller Diner " with a french couple tonight, long story short, we went to look at a sofa they had for sale, got chatting, they want to learn more english and we want to learn more french so 'voila', they invited us to go dine with them. We'll see how it goes. I'm looking forward to it - I think!
