It's very hot again today so a light session with Remy. Started in-hand before I rode and, as usual, I wonder how much benefit he's actually getting from this as, yet again, I come away thinking that It just ends up with us both a little frustrated and confused. I keep convincing myself that I have to do it, know all the reasons why, but I'm pretty crap at it and don't seem to be improving, so is it actually worth it? :-( When I get on, it feels much better, but then I'm doubting whether what I'm feeling is actually correct. Aaaagh.
A cyclist came down our track whilst I was riding him in the school. I can't remember if Remy's ever seen someone on a bike before, but it was quite unusual to see someone coming down our track and he was snorting at him. We halted and I rested the reins on his neck while he sussed it out and he stood still and calmed pretty quickly. Sweet, sweet boy.
I'm actually really tired, a bit under the weather and a bit fed up to be honest. A pretty disastrous day in Limoges yesterday to pick up the kitchen order which had finally arrived, only to find that they'd ordered the wrong doors! My french is improving all the time, but I'm so glad I don't know enough to swear in french !
I'm really worried also that we don't have enough hay for the horses this winter. Everywhere I look, folk are searching for hay and I'm not sure what we're going to do.
The lump on Obi's side is growing.
Feeling a bit weepy, I'll blame it on the hormones!

You know you really don't need to do the in-hand, if it makes you feel that way it might be worth just giving him a warm-up on the lunge and forgetting the in-hand for a while, or forever, lol.
The kitchen drama sounds familiar, drives me mad that they so often get it wrong.
I can't believe you won't have enough hay Di, we have just taken 7 bales off the field that gave us 8 two years ago but it's great quality and you will have one less this winter.
Sorry about Obi, big hug to both of you.
Come over the end of the week or next weekend (it's bank holiday thursday and pont friday so we're about) and have some Lydia hugs xxx
hay problems all over, i reckon, unless we get some decent rain soon...
sorry to hear about Obi...
Thanks Trudi, I'd love to come over, not seen much of you all lately!
We'll have to wait and see just how much hay we get, if we don't get enough we'll just have to buy some.
