Distracted

It was bright today, but quite blustery. I took Remy up to the school for a lunge session and he was very distracted, no problems with forward though, just not relaxed and forward! He did calm down eventually and we got some relaxed work at walk. I finished with a short in-hand session with leg yield, shoulder in and some reinback.
I put the saddle on Bonbon and took her out to continue her lunge training - she was a little distracted by the weather, but really just not in the mood. She squealed a couple of times and reared up on the lunge, but after a telling off and moving her forward, she continued in calmer fashion and we finished with some reinback and moving quarters and shoulders independently.
I'm still trying to shake off this bug and although feeling much better, it's still tiring me out. Jim got me some super duper cough medicine from the pharmacy today, so I'm sure that'll help.
