Dentist time

We had a day off on Sunday, but back in the school yesterday with Remy. Something was going on in his mouth, he was working ok, but over-salivating.
We worked at walk on figures of eights, shoulder-in to counter shoulder-in, which he managed ok, and on squares, shoulder-in to travers, which was tricky,but the travers is definitely improving.
His rein-back is becoming more fluid and straighter, he doesn't seem to be throwing his inside hind out like he did.
His trot transitions were pretty good, more active into a better balanced trot, which he managed to keep for longer. All-in-all a really good session.
It couldn't have been better timing as the equine dentist was booked in for today. He seemed to think that the recently erupted wolf tooth may be causing problems as it had become very sharp. He smoothed it back to the gum, so, for now it will be fine - we'll see if it needs any more attention next appointment. Apart from that, he gave Remy a clean bill of dental health, so we'll see how he is next time I ride.

A really great session with Bonbon yesterday, sitting-on with Jim leading her, circles on both reins, lots of halt and walk transitions. She was really attentive and responsive in my hand. First attempt at reinback, which was nice and soft. Really pleased with her.
A little star also with the dentist, calm and relaxed (well, as relaxed as she could be with a bloody great chunk of metal holding her jaws open!), I'm so proud of her, little sweetie.
