really good day

in fact, excellent for Molly!

Partner came down with me to walk whilst I rode, so essentially Molly was hacked out without another horse. And she did really well! along the lane - she was still a pain, we had lots of stop turn round, but she was prepared to follow partner eventually, and after that she was really very good altogether. I suppose we were out about an hour - it was all in walk - and I went a route we'd already done several times of course, and was very pleased with her. partner said (apropos of the napping in the lane) is that typical? and of course it is, but this time we were able to move on from it.

The only problem at the finish was that we left partner behind - trot up bank on road because of the traffic, turn into drive, she knows we're nearly home then .... we were NOT waiting for partner!

I was so pleased.

I hope she remembers later that she did manage to get along the first lane on her own, and that we didn't have the usual major argument to get through the first yard, just a very minor one!
