Finally the melt has started. Lydia off school for more than a week due to snow/ice and a poorly pony have made the last couple of weeks somewhat tiresome. Hopefully it has passed for the moment.
Yesterday I finally got to restart work with Chapiro, just a little in-hand and lunging but it made me feel a much more whole person again, I hate not having play time with the boys.
The right rein shoulder fore is really getting very good, nice and relaxed in the walk and happy to engage the right hand under his COG but the left rein is now the tricky one! The left rein has a 'busier' walk rhythm, more tension and consequently more stopping for a couple of steps of reinback. Will be working on that over the coming weeks.
Reinback in figure of eights to finish, not the most perfect '8' s but hey this is new for him.
I'm all excited about what's to come again, just keep the cold away, please!!

Glad you got back to work. We have mush now, very slippy out there! How is Cacahuette,, ok I hope?
He's eating well thanks Di and all seems to be working although he's still a little 'triste'
