Brill!

We've been busy the last couple of days chain harrowing and seeding our top field and fixing the fence on the side where next doors cows have been pushing to get some grass. It's hard work!

I had a lovely session in the school with Remy this morning. We started on a long rein with a nice active walk, soft in the hand on both reins. Then walk/rein-back/walk into small circles left and right and after a break on a long rein, shoulder-in on the circle and turn around the quarters on both reins. We then worked on trot transitions with good impulsion but staying nice and soft and round. He's getting nice transitions on the left, but still sticky on the right so tried transition to trot in the corner after shoulder-in on the long side. This worked great, helped to keep him up off my inside leg and kept a nice soft bend through the corner. His balance is improving in the trot too and he's able to keep a nice rhythm for longer. When we'd finished I rode him home and had a nice trot up the lane. Brill!
