Oh dear it's been a long time.
8th December 2013
We have 4 horses again.
Corky, Remy,Bonbon and Bentley (I'll write about him on the main page)
Remy 1 hour in the school. Lateral work at walk. Reluctant to flex right, but did some good work nevertheless. Good shoulder in , travers and renvers on the left rein, started to relax on the right rein and did some good walk/canter transitions. Tendency to rush, a bit spooky which we had to work through.
Bonbon Working through some issues with confidence. Lots of work on the ground gaining trust and focus. Starting to see results, I think we're getting a better connection.
Not kept up with this although I have been working my horses!!
I'll start again from today.

Hack just to the road, over the road, five minutes around the top of the lake and then back home, a lovely trot up from the wood, he can trot! Just have to improve his trot in the school .
Bonbon
In the garden in-hand and then asking for trot on the lunge. Farting about, bit worried, so back to walk and close work until relaxed.
