More lego activity

Phew!

Another week has gone by already and I turned down hacking this morning because I had so much other stuff to do.

My lesson as ever was fabulous we spent the whole lesson in walk working on Charlie's acceptance of contact and getting him to work leg into hand.

Counter shoulder in which earlier in the year caused 'I can't cope throw all my toys out if the pram' was followed by leg yield all very successfully I might add no toys were thrown but working into a correct contact is still a mystery to Charlie and a challenge for me.

We also had the saddler out to check our saddle fit. It's good and he advised a reflock in the autumn to keep the area around the spine nice and soft.

I arrived home this evening with jelly legs from all the work and as for my brain? It's addled.

We have had a quiet week with visitors and Easter in the way so didnt hack again until Sunday. Just a hack round the block but unfortunately we met a fire breathing piece of plastic on the road. We were rescued from our spinning activity by another livery and once she had leapt out of her car and led Charlie in the direction I intended to go he was fine. We won't thank the impatient arse in the other car who forced his way past us.
