Remy says no

For the first time, today out on a hack he wouldn't go down the track, stopped, planted his feet, tried to turn round and shook his head decisively. I've never felt a 'no' in him, but it was there today.
Everything looked fine to me, but for some reason he was worried enough to stick to his guns.
We had to continue, I really couldn't allow him to decide to turn round so we waited at halt for a while until he relaxed a little and then I asked him again. I had to ask him a few times, halting and waiting in-between until he decided he could go, but when he went that was decisive also and he went on with purpose. He came home very forward, but quite edgy and jumpy, we halted several times on the way back and although he really just wanted to keep going, he listened and stood quietly.
By the time we approached the neighbours he was chilling a little, until he saw some new logs at the side of the barn, he huffed and puffed at them, but went up to have a look and a sniff.
Jim had come out to look for us as we'd been gone quite a while by this time and Rem stood quite happily as we chatted with the neighbour.
I don't think he lost confidence today, I'm hoping that he's gained some.
If Jim had been with us, despite his worry, I think Remy would have followed him, but now he knows that he can do it with just the two of us. Well, I hope that's how he sees it! We'll see.
