Sunshine!!

It's been a glorious day, sunny and warm.
I rode Remy up to the school, we had a lunge session and then I rode him back and on up the track. Jim came on foot and we were out for about 20 minutes. The neighbours were loading up a big white van on the outward journey and we met it on the lane coming back, but Remy took it all in his stride. We stopped and chatted to the neighbour and I was so pleased with his quiet calm behaviour.
We then took Bonbon to the school for a short lunge session, moving her around the school, long sides and circles asking for walk halt transitions. To finish I brought the step over and leant over her back on the saddle, patting her on both sides and putting a little weight into the stirrup. What a good girl.
The weather's so nice I may mow the lawn - or then again, I may ride Corky this afternoon, I had a very short lunge session with her yesterday and was quite pleased how easy and relaxed she looked..
