We worked in the mist and drizzle today. It was fab. Remy was focussed and relaxed. We did some nice work on the lunge. His transitions are much cleaner and more active and he's starting to relax into the trot. Finished with some in-hand, giravolta, leg yield down the long side, shoulder-in on the circle and a little reinback.
Continued with Bonbon and lunge training. She's staying out on the circle now and the walk/halt transitions are getting better. The in-hand work is improving, she's moving her quarters really well and getting the hang of moving her shoulders. There were a couple of distractions with our neighbour skulking ( bonbon's word not mine) on the edge of the wood with her dog and the chasse hooting in the distance, but she kept her cool and focus and I was really pleased with her.

HAHA! Bonbon...good word for these humans, when they skirt the edge of the wood like that!How RUDE!
nice work Di. I can always count on you inspiring me-always!
I liked the sound of the relaxed trot Remy had...mine, since we have been in this new arena(when she is not being flighty with the sculkers) has really got a floaty rhythem to her trot now...the footing is soft/springy and that does make a differance to her.
