So pleased with both ponies today. First was Pait I'd got dad to bring the cart up to the yard for me to get Pait back into it. She hasnt been in the cart since she was away being broken to harness last year although I've long reined etc a few times in full harness. Had D giving me a hand so harnessed up and longreined Pait in the school, then had D hold her whilst I hitched the cart up, Did a lap of school with cart on but me driving from the ground with D on lungeline atthed to a headcollar, then got into the cart! Few more laps and I decided to brave the road as it is very tight to drive in the school so we set off through the village with D at Paits head with the line. Spun round at the end of the road with Pait just throwing her shoulder straight into the shaft and crossing her legs to bring it round <3 on way home I asked D to drop back until she was along side me then got her in the cart and trotted back to the yard. I was buzzing you'd think Pait drove everyday with how good she was.
Then I had a ridden lesson on Rory. First lesson since he was lame and had his hocks done and he was brilliant even better he didn't break at being in the school working! Need to crack on and work on suppling him up up now
