Rode the little lady in the arena this evening with company. She is so mareish! She did feel ok! No problems. Keep waiting for the old problems to arise but fortunately things seem to be going alright.
I hacked out the boy tonight in company. Initially he was a bit on the spooky side but eventually settle down and a nice hack was enjoyed.
Think I'll start the Parelli programme again. My mare responds really well to that. She loves it!

Wednesday afternoon
Rode him today and the girl. Trying to do lots of transition work and keep him busy. He only spooked once which was a bonus and as suggested if it was an issue today , to work him in the bottom half of the school. He has loads of energy! At least today I didn't feel as if I had had to work as hard as I did on Monday. His transitions are getting sharper. No feelings of anxiety today.
monday lesson
Well I got my lesson on Monday from an excellent teacher. Things are going to be fine. Did loads of transition work to get him working properly and to sharpen up. I really enjoyed it. Upwards and onwards. Given lots of advice regarding dealing with spooking whilst I ride in the arena. To practise what I have been taught this week. Next lesson next week on Wednesday afternoon.

sunday
I am trying to ride both horses at least four times each per week. Unfortunately due to other commitments and a wonderful trip to Blair horse trials I only managed three this week.
It was good to catch up with friends and also with people who have new horses and who are receiving tuition.
I am starting lessons with the boy tomorrow. The tutor is highly recommended and rides at grand prix level. Lets hope she can help me and I don't fall off tomorrow. I would just like him to stop spooking so much or for me to cope with it a little better. Did not fall off today!
Witnessed a terible accident at the cross country yesterday. I honestly thought there was going to be a fatality - horse and rider. Fortunately this was not the case! Eventing is certainly not for me!

Sun
Was glad to be back after Malvern. Great show but so many classes to see.
Took my boy in his trailer on my own for the first time on Wednesday. It was very wet and windy but I coped.
Unfortunately he wouldn't load for a show on Saturday. All that time spent getting him ready. Got a Monty Roberts Dually headcollar and have atarted schooling the two of them in that. It's a very useful tool. Planning to go a friends place next Thursday so hopefully this will work. Plenty of practise first before attempting the trailer!
