Restraint

The morning was dry but very blustery. We went in the school and worked around fences -some of which had been blown over. We used the opportunity to practice relaxation and did lots of work in walk with leg yield, half halts, halt transitions and shoulder in. We progressed up to trotting around the arena on the bit and tried a little canter on both reins.

Dad was pleased with my increasing softness and roundness on the bit in a snaffle.

We spent the afternoon grazing and came in when it was getting dark at 4.30. Dad was relieved that although I had a strong wind under my tail for most of our session I had been very disciplined and obedient; cobs do restraint.
