Monsters at the lake

It was a lovely morning, hazy sunshine and very few flies.  A session in-hand with Remy and Anky and then into the school with Bonbon.
It's been a few weeks since we took her up to the school,  but she went up there with no problems. We had a walk around and then started on the beginnings of lunge work, asking for a walk and halt transitions on a small circle. She's very willing.
We had some excitement when she spied a group of fishermen arriving at the small lake just across the field. She thought they were monsters and was really on her toes and snorting, this lasted for about ten minutes and we had some lovely (unasked for) trot work on the circle, but even though she was distracted, she stayed light on the line and didn't over-react. A great session.
Jim had followed me up with the camera so took some pics - he loves her so much, I think we're going to get pic overload during the course of her training.

That BonBon mare...is so neat...love the name too!
She and Wa have issues with floaty people on water...and sometimes people near water!
Good work!
