Yipee, it's T-shirt Weather!!!!!

The day dawned sunny and warm this morning and after a lovely afternoon yesterday with Trudi, Bev and Lydia I felt refreshed and ready to take on the week - thanks guys!

I took Remy up to the school. He was pretty chilled until he was spooked by pigeons nesting in the little wood at the far end. After that he was quite distracted, but no worries, I just tried to keep his attention by tutting, and clicking and rewarding when he returned his attention to me. He spooked a few times and we had some impromptu lungeing (well, running around me) in trot, not very pretty, but he didn't take advantage of the situation and once he'd calmed down we did some nice lungeing at walk with some good halt and walk transitions. We finished really calmly with a walk around the school,weaving in and out of the jump wings and over the poles. 

Anky's been a little better this last couple of days. The jaundice is gone, her gums are pinker and she's been eating well, no stretching or lying down in the field. She passed some intestinal lining on Saturday and immdiately looked and I'm sure felt better. After doing some research, I'm sure the jaundice was caused by the toxicity in her bowel, putting her liver into overload. The vet is coming on Wednesday, so we have lots to discuss. He will take bloods and, hopefully we can arrange a gastroscopy. Anky obvously has an inflamed/irritated bowel, whether that's caused by ulcer recurrence or something else, I don't know, but I do hope we can find out.

I wanted to ride Corky, it was such a lovely day, but somehow time got away from me, hopefully soon though :-)

We brought them in early for their feed as it's their first night out tonight, so had a little trailer training session, first time with the partition in. Bonbon first, led her to the ramp let her have a look inside and then led her in. She took absolutely no notice of the partition, walked in and stood nibbling the hay at the front. I then led her out the front ramp. Remy next, did exactly the same with exactly the same result. Brilliant!!
