Same again today with Remy in the school. He was a little distracted as it was a little blustery and our neighbour appeared out of the wood with his dog, but when I asked him to refocus he came back to me and we carried on.
We trotted on both reins, the transition was ok, but the trot wasn't as relaxed as yesterday, I don't think he felt as secure, with the wind and the scary horse-eating dog but he listened and tried for me. On the way back down the field to the yard I stopped several times and asked for turn around the forehand. These were more forward and precise than his recent efforts and a couple of reinbacks. I was pleased with his efforts today as he was genuinely a little spooked by the weather and other distractions.
Looking at him today I realise that he's become a very large horse (when did that happen? :-o) and although I'm looking forward to starting some in-hand with him, it's going to be a challenge.
Anky seemed ok today and Corky hasn't coughed.
