ahhh he was such a good boy today!!! did some lengthening/shortening of stride exercises in walk, trot and canter, counting how many strides down one long side, then aiming for more or less on the other. did a bit without stirrups-ouch, he has got a proper swingy, bouncy trot-well, and then some work on a long rein in w/t/c to get him to have a decent stretch out.

then it was bathtime again!!he's got a few little bald patches on the inside of his stifles, and is generally a bit itchy, so bathed him in skin calming shampoo, and spent ages rinsing it all out. absoultely hates having his mane washed and rinsed, turns into a right strop!

when i first got there, he gave me a 'who the hell is this mad woman and what is she doing calling me rani-pops' look, then i think he clicked and came over for lots of cuddles! he's such a nice person, likes a good chat :)

Love you Luran!! <3
