Your RI Bobbi:nod: Don't think I'll be making it again Chindato. Sparky had an accident a couple of weeks ago and I only had her back out walking for ten mins today. She still healing so don't want to push her too hard.

Sorry to hear your mare's out of action Magoozee. You're welcome to come watch sans horse :) I can lend you a gorgeous replacement if you want to do some in hand work.

This isn't my first session with this trainer Bobby C, so I know exactly what's ahead of me :sniggers:. My issue is that I have a very big horse who knows that if he ignores you for long enough you eventually give up - or at least that's how things were when he came home from the professional jumping yard. You got the minimum effort from the horse and you did a pretty mean impression of a horse-borne windmill in the process. This lady has been helping us on two fronts: firstly to motivate the horse rather than 'make' him do stuff, and secondly by motivating me to get back in the saddle after a long break. I've been finding it very interesting, useful and enjoyable. Takes me out of my comfort zone, but not out of my depth. Although there is a bit of an argument over whether this lady is teaching us natural horsemanship, or the Chinmeister is teaching us natural humanship :)
