Corky rides

I took Remy for a walk along the lane and then up to the school this morning. We worked in-hand , concentrating on a nice, forward, but not rushed walk stride with a relaxed neck. I moved him around the school, using the sides of the arena and then bringing him off onto a circle and when he was balanced and soft, asking for some lateral steps. He was very responsive on the left rein, but more resistant on the right, and I massaged his neck until he relaxed and gave me a more genuine inside bend. I was really pleased with the session and we finished with some free play over the poles.
While I was in the school with Remy, Jim took Bonbon for a walk around the yard and garden, and then I tacked up Anky and we went out for a hack with Jim and Obi.
I had a musical afternoon at Ricky's which I enjoyed very much. Her family are over for a holiday, and after an hour or so sitting and playing by the pool, Ricky's daughter and two grandchildren, Gwen and Chris came  back with me and helped with the horses. Corky was a star as she was petted, groomed, and then ridden around the grounds.
