Milly was really good today, especially as it was raining, which she usually HATES! I set up 3 blocks about 2 meters apart from each other on both sides of the school so we could practice our flying changes today, which need perfecting, as she sometimes doesn't do them, or she sometimes disunites in her back end! but just to be able to do them is fun, as i've always wanted to be able to! :)
She did a few across the diagonal, which i was pleased about too! :) Ever since she has been on a new feed she seems more foward going , which is really nice as she can be a bit sluggish in the arena, but she is foward going on out hacks, especally when we have a canter :)
When i put milly backshe was really funny and kept trying to '' kiss '' me becuase she knows if she does she will get a treat, so she loved her new trick! Even though its not very nice if shes just had her dinner as she has cold,wet chaff around her mouth!
The ponies have both had rugs on over the last few days as the weather has been awfull ! :@ and the evenings are getting darker so i wont be able to ride as much! :( - i wish they 'd get floodlights at the stables! Still, im lucky i had a menage at all, this time last year i was riding in a boggy old field which was 20x20 , - on a slope.! it did me good though, improved my balance!
Sorry the first blog was quite long! Lok ou for my next one !

aww Milly's "kissing" trick sounds cute..but i can see how it could verge on disgusting as well eww
Yeh i know how it feels to ride in the dark, the stables I was at before Barnfield didn't have floodlights and it was pitch black in the winter :S
I would LOVE to be able to do flying changes
