Tick v.g.

Back in the school with Remy today. Starting with relaxing the neck with a soft contact in the hand, small circles with lots of changes of rein, then allowing him to stretch and walk out. Back to a little shoulder-in on the circle and turn around the quarters. Then some trot transitions, asking for bend and relaxation of the neck into a transition. Then trot from reinback asking for more activity. The trot was a little more active today and felt a little better balanced. We did more work on starting travers, he's getting the hang of it, and finished  alternating shoulder-in to travers down the long side on each rein. Lots and lots to work on, but seeing gradual improvement in his comprehension and suppleness.

Bonbon was a sweetie today, a little unsure as I tightened the girth, but we took it calmly and slowly and she relaxed into it. A short session on the yard in-hand, both reins, nice relaxation through the neck, a little shoulder-in, some reinback and then a short sit-on. We practised a few flexions mounted and then walked a few steps on both reins. Much better, tick v.g!
