A short hack up the track with Remy today. He huffed and puffed at a guy cleaning up a few leftover heads of maize in the middle of his field, but went past undaunted. He was on a mission again coming home - oh I love that feeling, and if we're going to activate his back end, this is going to help no end!
Bonbon was a little cow - pmt, I think! I put the saddle on and as I tightened it up she shot backwards and upwards, not nice at all! I'm not sure what we'll do, I suppose we'll go with it and carry on, see what happens. I took her onto the yard and walk and trotted her around until she settled. She was squealing, and throwing her head at me, but nothing huge. As we were finishing, an airforce jet came over and both Jim and I wanted to run for cover, it was flying so low and making a hell of a noise. Bonbon jumped backwards, but then stood quietly without a murmur - she can be a very good girl. She seemed calm enough so I had a little sit-on, no problems so walked a few strides and then got off and left it on a good note.
