Here comes the sun.....


It has been beautiful today, sunny and warm.
I started the day by taking Anky up to the school again. A short lungeing session including the trotting poles and a little in-hand work. She is a good girl.
I'd decided to give Remy a day off so I took Corky out for a hack. It was so good riding out with the sun warming my back.
A friend had offered me a rug for Bonbon, she's outgrown all hers and this one was going spare, so I went round to collect it this afternoon. I thought it may be slightly too big as it's a 6ft 9in, but it fits her like a glove.
We actually managed to do some gardening this afternoon, planting bulbs and tidying up the shrubs, it felt like Spring has arrived - god I hope it has!!!

We had a short trailer session when we brought them in. Bonbon first, straight on the trailer, standing for a while whilst Jim put the back ramp up. She jumped when it closed, but made no attempt to move so we stood for another few minutes and then I led her down the front ramp.

Remy next, we thought we'd leave closing the ramp until next time, all I wanted was for him to walk straight on, and he did, so we stood for a few minutes and then I led him off the front.
I'm really pleased with them both, all this steady work seems to be working.
