not so good tonight - with canter!

she actually wanted to go up that steep hill again, i think, but i wanted to go the way I wanted to go (20 acre) - which we eventually got into, and i htought we were going ok - i was relaxed, she was relaxed - then she stopped, and I really don't know why. so turned round, and nearly back to the gate when fisherman with rod popped up from bank side in to path in front of us! she didn't spook or anything, but did stop. then couldn't work out which way she wanted to go! she turned round (but not spookily) and faced the other way (which was the way i originally wanted to go, of course) but then decided that wasn't the way to home or anywhere else. so turned round again and we walked nicely back through the gate.

she still, i think, wanted to go up the steep hill ....maybe i shoudl have done that, but didn't, by that time, want to end up walking!

BUT cantered back up the track towards the yard, YIPPEE first canter since June 2006!!!!!!!

then back into the arena - some nice paces, and did eventually work out how to do a circle again!

need some lunging to remind her she can go right!

tomorrow, apparently, a hack out if i get back from hull - which i should! and maybe i should let her do that steep hill again! hopign she don't stop at the log!
