I almost thought it was going to be too wet, but went out in mizzle and it stopped - bit foggy but who cared, and got warmer!
good on left rein, but only got right rein after a bit of an argument - found i had to set her away in trot and then bring her back to walk and on the second attempt at this (after going left again for 5) she did consent to slow the trot right rein and gave me a few circles of walk.
So i called that a good note to finish on and finished.
I did think about longlining as well, but it all takes so long to sort out and threatening rein and she'd been good....
edited to add - and I heard today that YO had her own scores excluded from the yard comp, which was very nice of her but she shouldn't have (you shouldn't have!) as just as entitled to have a placing if merited as anyone else!

YO has a ton of integrity.
As for your day, good job. I do know what you mean about tacking up all the gear when it looks like rain. Sometimes it's just not worth it.
Seems not that long ago when you would not have been able to work out a method to get Molly working on that right rein. How times have changed. *S*
