I took Remy for a short hack and he stopped at the usual place near my neighbours garden. He's really got a thing about it so we halted and I waited until he was happy to go, and after that he was really forward and keen.
We went down the track to the lake and he was really striding out - it felt good. We walked most of the way back up the track, with a short trot as we reached the top. Instead of heading back towards home, I decided to do a little exploring and headed further up the track towards the road. There's a field just before the road and it doestn't really have a path through, but I could see a gap in the hedge at the bottom of the field, so we went to have a look to see if we could get through. This would be a great shortcut to a nice ride along a green track, and I wouldn't have to cross and then re-cross the road. When we got there, I could see that if I pulled back a few thin holly branches I would probably be able to get through, so I'm going to go back on foot to do just that, and we'll try getting through on my next hack.
I took Bonbon to the school again and although she was a little distracted, she was a good girl. We had a short lunge session and then I sat on. The same things as our last couple of sessions, walk/halt transitions and changes of direction.
We did a vid, but it won't upload for some reason, I'll try again tomorrow.
