Saturday 21st February

Today there was a course on so this meant we couldn’t use the arena as there just wasn’t enough room for any more horses to come in.

So today I just really spent a lot of undemanding time with Blossom walking about outside letting her graze. We did go out to play in the 100ft round pen outside, but as it hasn’t been used since the summer so the surface wasn’t very good and Blossom seemed worried about going any faster than walk and even then preferred to come back to me. So I didn’t want to push her, so we just spent some time hanging out together and every now and then I would ask a little something of her maybe stick to me, circles, backwards by the tail, sideways and this really kept her attention on me even when she was grazing.

The course is on again tomorrow so I think me and Corine plan to have an early lunch so we can play with our horses while the students on the course have their lunch.
