Trudi came over today and helped me with Anky and Remy. I haven't worked them for a couple of weeks and Trudi provided some much needed motivation. She worked Anky in-hand and ridden, concentrating on getting her to relax her neck and stretch down using massage just behind the poll and along the top of her neck. It had an irrisistable effect and I think the more we do the better Anky will be. I agree with Trudi that this could be the key to the work with her and once we have more consistent relaxation the quicker we'll progress.
Remy was chilled to the point of horizontal today, he's a good boy but he just has to learn to concentrate on what's being asked of him and give a quicker reaction. Ho hum, I've a lot to learn. Me, Anky and Remy, we all have a lot to learn.
Thanks Trudi, you're a pal!
