Blehlick!

The weather today has been truely horrendous. Rory got ridden in the school and after a disbelieving look that yes I was getting on and going to ride in THAT weather he immediatly got down to work. Perfectly on the bit, listening to me and letting me have a contact without trying to pretend that I've barbed wire in his month and how dare I touch the reins as he currently has a drop noseband on. So a lovely quick session and I called it a day. He didn't want to stay in the stable though and rushed straight back to play reary games with Duke!
Got Pait in and tacked up and I waited and chatted with YM who I was meant to be going out hacking with and finally it died down for us to have a quick hack without getting soaked. Pait went splashing merrily through puddles after Mr smacky stick backed me up on the first one and we had an ace ride. Coming home we stopped to talk to another livery in the village and Pait stood in the middle of a huge puddle entertaining herself by spitting water at Will her hacking buddy. Not bad to say I had a 20 minute battle the quarry last week just to get her to dip in toes in the water!

Rory mac is back.
Poor pony gets the job of being my therapy- get fit pony. I had him in the plain myler snaffle with a drop noseband and he wasn't happy. A few little strops later and we'd settled down to do some decent walk work until we were joined by another livery and the world ended, after a few more minutes though we went back to relaxed (for Rory). Did some shoulder in, leg yeilding, rein backs and lots of circles.
