We are lungeing !

Yes we are :-)
The sun was shining again today and I took Remy up to the school to continue our lungeing training. He was  brilliant, we started with walk work around the school and then settled on a larger circle, I asked for  trot and he obliged with a nice easy transition, there was no confusion, he's just twigged what I'm asking for. I asked for 4 or 5 walk/trot transitions on each rein and then called it a day. He seems to have realised that he has a job to do and I love the way I can see him watching me, waiting for instructions when we're working. Well, perhaps I'm imagining it, but I don't think so.
Jim took our old 4x4 for it's MOT today, we we're both resigned to the fact that it was going for scrap, but it passed so we're happy bunnies, him because he has a soft spot for it and me because it means he won't be driving my car!!!
I rode Corky this afternoon, she felt much better, no sign of a cough and she had more energy. We saw the deer family on the way round , they were running through the field at the side of the track, a good excuse for Corky to have a blonde moment, prancing and jigging -  naughty, but I quite like it really :-)

When I got back I saw Anky stretching in the field, she had just done some droppings and it was obviously uncomfortable for her. She only stretched for a few seconds, but the fact that she still does it really bothers me.. Jim has said it can take months and months for a damaged bowel to heal so we'll just give her more time. She is certainly better in herself and she looks in good condition. Anyway I brought her in to check her, she wasn't tight or bloated and she dragged me over to the lawn to try and eat the grass, so thinking that a bit of gentle exercise might clear any wind, I took her into the garden. I lunged her gently at walk and then trot and she moved pretty easily and wasn't bracing and holding herself and to me she looked fine. I then did turns on the forehand on both reins and practiced leg yield in-hand. I've never done it before and she gave me 3 or 4 steps which I was happy with. I'm going to start some gentle ground work with her, I think it may help her and it will certainly help me, I think she could teach me a lot and I'm going to need it for when I start the in-hand with Remy.
I went to an art class with a friend last night. It was really enjoyable and I had every intention of doing some drawing this afternoon, but the day got away from me. Perhaps tomorrow.
