Huzzah!!

I'm guessing yesterday's lesson was well learnt - I caught Red first go today. hehe.

He was calling to the mare when I got there, but he made no attempt to bugger off ... 2 reasons I'd say ...1) he was no longer next to the mare, and 2) he didn't feel like being driven on in a rug again today ...

I promised him that if he wasn't naughty, then he could have a small lunge session only... Sure, he can't understand me, but I still held my end of the deal. So, we had a short lunge session - no more than 15 minutes... . Some walk, trot, and canter to either side. Then I popped him over the small jump a few times to either side as well ... After that, I took him bridle off, clipped onto the halter, loosened his gear.... then we walked back slowly, having a nibble on the grass as we went.

I must say. He's looking spectacular right now! Almost all his winter coat has come out, and his white coat is gleaming - roan parts shining through and all...

Yay!! I almost have the old Red back again.
