The horses have got to grips with the shelter,been up and down and in and out all day. With that, taking up the old fencing and pulling up the old gate posts, it hasn't done the field any favours. No doubt it will recover.

Settling in
Woke up to a damp, miserable day this morning. Just putting the horses in the field when Bev arrived out of the blue. What a lovely surprise, we talked most of the day!

Tired......
.......tonight after working all afternoon (hehe, I'm not used to it) finishing the horse shelter. The new fencing is in, the old fencing is out and the guttering is up. We brought the horses in whilst we removed the old fencing and tidied it all up and it was just starting to go dark by the time we'd finished and put them back out. Lots of snorting and investigating before they headed off down the field. Hopefully I'll get some pics tomorrow.
I rode Anky in the school today and she was very good, but quite nervous with the toot tooting of the chasse getting closer. It's a while since I rode her and I was pleasantly surprised at how good she felt, forward, and soft in her mouth. I got off mid session and we had ten minutes in-hand where I managed to get her to relax and stretch and lower her head and neck. When I got back on she was a little more relaxed and responsive.
I decided that discretion was the better part of valour so had a short in-hand session inside with Remy. He gave me some lovely flexions from a very light feel and was lovely and soft in his mouth.

Shelter
The builders have been busy the last couple of weeks building the horse shelter. We've had a few delays because of the material suppliers, but yesterday they finally finished.
Before the horses can use it, we have to put the guttering on, finish the new fenceline and gates, take the old fencing out and concrete a small part of the yard - shouldn't take too long........... :-)
