My baby's growing up

Bonbon is 3 years old at the end of this month and I'm going to start some groundwork with her. This morning I took her for a walk around the garden, asking for walk and halt transitions. She's very well mannered and responds from a very light request. I asked her to back up which she does very easily, staying nice and relaxed. She was a very good girl even with Remy neighing to her from the stables. Jim took some pics with his new camera.

I had a lovely afternoon out with Bev at a demo which had been organised by one of our local horse groups.
The demo was given by a 'horse whisperer' which I think has become a very overused term and in my view encompasses some questionable methods. I was pleasantly surprised though and  found him to be quiet and calm with a very relaxed  way of handling the horses.
