It's been a week since I rode Remy. He's been having a rest after his osteo treatment, and I've been massaging him and doing these daily exercises which I think are really going to help him.
I decided to ride him up the lane today, I didn't put the bridle on, just rode him on the cavesson, and while it felt a bit strange in the hand, he was fairly receptive, especially halts and reinback which I used on the way back to keep him focussed. I wanted to test the waters as to how much control I had, so was pretty pleased, although I don't know how we'll go if I ask him to canter.
Bonbon always holds her weight, and she's come through the winter very well. With the flush of spring grass, she's holding quite a bit of weight, so now the weather's a bit better I've started lungeing her. I took her for a walk up the lane today before going into the school for her session, and she was really good.
