Inside or outside?

Hmm, not much of a decision....
It's warm and cozy in the house, but I'm looking out of the window and it's grey and miserable and tipping down outside! Not very encouraging of outdoor pursuits!!
Luckily, we got the best of the weather this morning and I took Remy up to the school for lungeing , followed by a short in-hand session.  He was a good boy and I worked on a circle to get some rhythm and relaxation and then I moved him around the school working on walk and trot transitions. We finished in-hand with some leg-yield, shoulder-in and a couple of reinback to walk on exercises.
After the session with Remy, I brought Bonbon into the barn for a good grooming session, put on the saddle and took her for a walk around the yard. She didn't mind it at all and we had a short in-hand session with reinback and moving her quarters and shoulders independently. She's pretty good at moving her quarters over, quite happy to reinback, but not sure about moving her shoulders away. We got one or two good steps today though.
