What a great morning

The server's been down the last couple of days so we've been offline. It was pretty obvious that all our equipment was working, but when I called the tech line to see what was going on, the only thing they suggested was that the power supply for my modem may be faulty :-o

I've lunged Remy the last couple of days and he's really starting to let go and relax. After the lunge session I've had a sit on, working on walk/halt/rein-back transitions and trying to keep a soft feel and slight inside bend on the rein .He was really focussed today and he's starting to feel better balanced. I finished today by riding him up the lane back to the yard and had a short trot which felt great.

We took Bonbon in the school for a lunge session, walk and trot and a couple of times over the poles. She's a little star, she's forward, but doesn't over-react and already feels light and responsive on the line.  I can't believe how 'grown up' she looks with her tack on! We finished by walking her back down the lane - she's never been that way before and was a little on her toes, but behaved brilliantly.

It's been a great morning with the horses!
