Yee haa!

I rode Remy to the school again today and we had a lunge session at walk and trot. The trot is finally startng to come now. He's starting to relax and stretch into it and get a much better rhythm. After the session I rode him back down the lane and then on again up the track, this time past the haylage bales which he had a good look at, but then stood calmly. He walked out really nicely on the way back home and it felt great.

We then took Bonbon to the school for her lunge session.
We tacked her up in the barn, including the saddle, and as soon as we put it on she objected to it. We kept it on and started walking her up the field to the school, but for whatever reason she was having none of it and started yeehawing about and nipping at her side. I unbuckled the girth to see if anything was scratching her and decided to carry it up to the school. She then walked up fine.
Once in the school she was a little lively, but soon settled into a nice walk stride and we worked around the school using long sides and circles on both reins. We then put the saddle back on and she was fine with it so we had another five minutes on each rein before finishing on a good note. Little madam - she's a sweetie really!
