..to normal.
It felt strange this morning seeing the empty gite, expecting to see mum and dad sitting on the terrace with a cuppa.
I took Remy up to the school. Understandably after his layoff, he was a little distracted. I walked him around in hand to loosen him up and relax him a little and then got on.
It felt good, but frighteningly it felt like I hadn't sat on a horse for years rather than 3 weeks!! I stayed at halt for a few minutes asking for flexions to both sides- pretty easy to the left, not so much to the right, but it came better during the session. Then moving on to walk/halt transitions, slow and easy trying to keep his attention, halting, waiting, then asking again if we lost the softness in the hand until he started to listen.
A short, simple session. Good to be getting going again.
Jim seemed to think that he looked taller, I'm not sure, can a horse grow in 3 weeks? Don't know.

omg Remy grown some more?? You'll need a step ladder soon :)
Glad you had a good time with your parents, time goes so quickly though. I'm struggling to find time to post much, work with the boys and Lydia are taking up pretty much all the time at the moment!
