A good morning. I took Remy out for a hack, Jim was to meet us at the road, but when we got there a farmer was going up and down with his tractor directly opposite. Not wanting to create an issue, I doubled back and took Remy down a new track, it doesn't really go anywhere, sort of peters out, but as he'd never been down there I thought it would be good for him. He was great, really striding out, looking at things but really thinking forward. Couldn't have been better.
We then tacked up Bonbon and took her to the school. She's not been up there in a while, but she was good - a little in-hand, walk and trot and then a short sit-on.
We practiced a few flexions at halt and then Jim led her around on a circle on both reins, interspersed with halt and first attempts at reinback mounted. She was pretty cool about it, starting to stretch out and soft in my hand. I started to think about where I was placing my weight and she responded really well. She'd been so well behaved that we walked her back down the lane home.

she's recovered from her marish moment then?
so much positive stuff in these posts, so pleased for you!
Well, this is Bonbon we're talking about Claire, she's just in a better mood at the moment.
Thanks Trudi.
