Well, after a disastrous day yesterday (breakdown on the motorway - car now in bits in the garage awaiting devi (gulp)) we've started the week in good form.
This morning I started with a short in-hand session with Bonbon as she was the only one standing, the other two snoozing. We concentrated on walk and halt transitions and keeping relaxed through her head and neck. It was a bit blustery and she was a good girl.
Remy was up and munching by the time I'd finished with Bonbon so had a short session with him in-hand. He's getting (and keeping) the relaxation through the neck now, he's keeping good forward momentum and moving his quarters and shoulders really well. His reinback was great today, really straight and fluid, followed by immediate walk on with a lovely long stride.
Finished with a hack out on Corky. She seemed tired today. It may be that now she's on her own with the youngsters she's not getting as much rest overnight - I don't know. She livened up a bit on the way home ( comme d'habitude) and was striding out (figuratively speaking, for Corky) by the time we arrived back.
