Not a chestnut amongst them.....

Two more schooling sessions today with Remy and Bonbon. Working more on the trot today with Rem and his balance is improving on the right rein. In fact, he was a little hesitant on the left rein and a little tight through his neck. He was ok when I worked him on a longer rein, in fact he felt lovely and soft, so we'll see how he is tomorrow.
Bonbon was a good girl again. The trotting on the lunge is really improving and she's starting to relax more into the trot.  I sat on again and we continued with the halt/walk transitions, turning left and right, a little reinback and circles.

I've just been checking their passports so that I can book their annual vaccination and was curious about Remys ancestors, searching the internet, I came across these vids of Remys great grandads.

Well he has some great ancestors. Fortunately the females bring in their share of the genes. Maybe they have chestnut.
But it was great seeing those famous horses again on video.
