back to groundwork

well, i thought rope circling, largely because i'd had a bad day, not assisted by yet ANOTHER late lunch!  i get into what i'm doing and forget about lunch, very silly!  and then at 5 pm i'd started sending a very long fax (the email with attachments that i sent middle of last week having bounced back to me today!) and it was just as well i waited as it crashed half way through (overloaded document feeder, methinks!).  so time i got to the yard i wasn't in the fettle for a long walk, and decided on a small amount of rope circling. all good, save that now she's trotting round nicely right rein, but not left... guess she's still feeling that shoulder a touch even if she does look sound, so i'd best not do that again for a while...

when we got up this morning there was no water - turned out the entire village had no water!  didn't' come back on until mid morning, who knows what the problem was!  better not happen tomorrow, i have to put the suit on and go to nottingham to see new client!

What's rope circling?

Better to take it easy until you are sure about that shoulder of hers.

No water is always frustrating. Here, I have my own water, but if the power goes off, no pump to get it out of the well.

Rope circling=lunging? I love reading your blog and learning new lingo. I can almost hear the accent as I read. Cheers!

Nottingham's only down the road from me. If you come again you'll have to come visit! Dinner, bed and breakfast if you like.

jane, i went to edwinstowe...

photogchic& di - not quite lunging. It's what Max (richard maxwell does) - a pressure halter and 12 foot line, you can do various things with it including have the horse trot roudn you. but you would only have them do a couple of circles before stop and turn in to face you; also have them go backwards, turn on forehand, etc...probably someone's put a vid up on youtube...
