Phew, I'm worn out!

I woke early at 7.30am,which is a rare occurrence for me, I got up as the dogs were crying to go out. The horses were at the gate waiting to come in so I brought them in for their breakfast.
After breakfast I took Remy up to the school for a lungeing session. I worked on moving him around the school, waiting until we had a nice relaxed but purposeful walk before asking for the trot transition. The transitions are improving, with a quicker reaction into a softer transition. We had some lovely trot work down the long side with nice transitions to walk. He is a little uncertain on the large circle in trot, I think he feels a little insecure when he comes off the track but he's improving all the time. He's not particularly demonstrative and it would be easy to think that he's switching off, but as Trudi pointed out, his ears are moving all the time, he's definitely paying attention,watching and listening. At one point we were trotting down the long side and I got slightly out of position, ie, just in front of his shoulder and he gave me a beautiful transition to halt! He's teaching me quite a lot!!
I tacked Anky up next, we did the short ride to the wood, back past the house and up to the school. She was brilliant on the ride, forward, but with a nice stride. As we neared the house and she realised we were going past, she was a little reluctant, but she went on, and even though she was a little worried she stayed forward and willing. In the school we practiced stretching and lowering the neck at walk. She's very good on the right rein, still sticky on the left, with the same tendency to tip the nose, but that's improving and even though she was distracted by  fishermen on the lake she stayed fairly relaxed.
Before we put them back in the field I took Bonbon for a walk round the garden, down to the area that I use for lungeing and groundwork, she was a star. 
The afternoon was filled with trampoline workout, Egoscue exercise program ( I think I"m hooked) and sax practice in readiness for an afternoon with Ricky and another sax player tomorrow.
