Thanks all...

... for the lovely comments.
We're getting on getting on here and after being pretty subdued, the horses seem to be  returning to normal too.
I've really enjoyed riding Corky the last three days. I'm aiming to get her fit ( I know, I've said it before) so that she'll be up for some hacking out with Remy, but also because I want to hack out with some friends - and, she needs to be fitter. It was a lovely ride today, about 40 minutes at walk and she was so focussed and sensitive, with some lovely stretching, a good walk stride ( for Corky) and some really precise halts off the seat ( helped by my stash of carrots). I always say it, and I always mean it - she makes me smile!!

Sounds good with Corky, carrot training is a winner!

Excellent news! Corky sounds very delightful, and uplifting the face does uplift the heart!

Carrot, sometimes peppermint, rewards go far in my mares book as well!
Here's to many more solo into- with friends-hacks!
