Shake up

Trudi came over yesterday to help me with Remy and it was really good to have a new perspective on things. Today we worked on some of the things covered yesterday, fully relaxing through the neck as he's tending to hold himself a little, more trot transitions and keeping the trot for longer and moving him around in figures of eights, letting him use and balance himself,asking for softness by lifting the inside rein.
We also did our usual lateral work in walk, a bit of shoulder-in and turn around the quarters on each rein, quarters-in off the corner and we got some nice relaxed work.
I was out of my comfort zone yesterday, but I've been working alone for a long time and I needed a shake up and it was good for me, so thanks Trudi. I've got new things to incorporate into our work now.
