.......tonight after working all afternoon (hehe, I'm not used to it) finishing the horse shelter. The new fencing is in, the old fencing is out and the guttering is up. We brought the horses in whilst we removed the old fencing and tidied it all up and it was just starting to go dark by the time we'd finished and put them back out. Lots of snorting and investigating before they headed off down the field. Hopefully I'll get some pics tomorrow.
I rode Anky in the school today and she was very good, but quite nervous with the toot tooting of the chasse getting closer. It's a while since I rode her and I was pleasantly surprised at how good she felt, forward, and soft in her mouth. I got off mid session and we had ten minutes in-hand where I managed to get her to relax and stretch and lower her head and neck. When I got back on she was a little more relaxed and responsive.
I decided that discretion was the better part of valour so had a short in-hand session inside with Remy. He gave me some lovely flexions from a very light feel and was lovely and soft in his mouth.
