A great session with Remy today. Continuing on from previous post, letting him extend his neck more,he settled really well and felt light, soft and well balanced. We had some lovely trot transitions on the right rein, he finds it easier to keep his balance on this rein. He's not as consistent on the left rein, more difficult to keep soft and then tensing into the trot transition. It comes back to making sure that he's relaxed and accepting on the outside rein which makes it easy to soften the inside with a light lift of the rein. Making sure, also that he's really using the inside hind and keeping his inside shoulder up. When it's correct I can feel him lift underneath me and the trot transition is much softer and in better balance.
We managed to sell 5 of our young chooks today, 4 hens and a rooster, gone to a good home and not in the pot. A relief to Jim as we have far too many. He bred them for the freezer, but I've grown so fond of them I can't bear for him to kill them.
It's Jims birthday today, so we had a big juicy steak for tea with caramalised onions and a red wine sauce. It was delicious - how's that for hypocrisy!
