It's been a rainy old day today. Yesterday was hot and sunny, very close, and so the horses had their first night out without rugs. Great for them, but not for me this morning as they came in looking like they'd been mud wrestling. Our fields are not muddy, but, somehow, they managed to find some!!
After a good grooming session, the rain had stopped so I took Remy up to the school and we had one of our best sessions in ages. We've been concentrating on lunge work, trying to get softness, rhythm, and good stretch long and low. Today he had an active walk stride and when asked for the trot transition he was responsive and forward and quickly relaxed into a good stretch long and low with a good rhythm and good, even bend. He's becoming much more consistent and I think we're getting there, to that point of it all clicking into place. Not perfect by any means, but I'm so proud of him and the way he tries for me despite all the mistakes I make in the process. It was raining heavily by the time we finished and we were wet through but I'd not even noticed.
