A cool, slightly overcast, but warm morning. Spurred on by Trudi's early bird hack, I decided to ride Anky out. It was perfect riding weather and even though she was being her usual cautious self we had some nice moments of relaxation and softness. She felt like a much straighter horse and at times when she was thinking forward I suddenly realised that I could control her shoulders with my seat ( a first, I think), which gave me genuine softness and bend. We were out for about an hour, she came back in good spirits and I really enjoyed it.
Shortly after my return home, the heavens opened and we had a big storm, rumblings of which have been continuing all afternoon. After all the dry weather, the ground is soaking up the rain with a sigh of relief.
So, Remy has had a day off, but they all got plenty of exercise when we let them in the front field, galloping and cavorting about. They looked great, why is it that I never have my camera at times like this!!
