Monday 24th March

This afternoon I got out to play with Blossom. We started with lots of friendly as we walked round the field, then we moved on to driving from zone three. Next we played with yo yo's again the draw wasn't very good but got better, I also had to really go up my phases to get her to go back today. We seemed to have a little dominance issues as she was stomping her front feet at me as I asked her back.

Circling game was much better today, the send was better needed a few corrections at the start but that was all. The draw off the circle was much better today and she was coming to me with her ears forward.

I then jumped on her bareback and we went for a walk round the field, we even got some really nice trots in between eating grass. This is the first time she has managed to stay calm in trot and stop by herself, even if it was just to eat grass. To me that was a huge improvement!!

Then it started to snow so we finished on that and went back to the stables where she stood and let me give her a good groom and actually seemed to enjoy it!!

Great that you've been getting out Leanne. We have 6" of snow, it snowed ALL weekend and I was so looking forward to being out with our horses. Good for you on getting out there.
