Walking out

Had a lovely time with Remy today. I rode him up to the school but he wanted to explore down the track to the little lakes so that's what we did. I've never ridden him down there, but he really wanted to go. His walk was fantastic, I can't tell you how good it felt to have him striding out beneath me. We stopped at the lake and he had a little snort at the hut with the boat, but he settled quickly and I let him put his head down for a nibble at some grass. I took him in the school on the way back, a short session including rein-back and shoulder-in on each rein followed by a few trot transitions. He's improving and I was happy with the transitions and his balance in the trot.
