went over to the arena to see if we could do better than we did yesterday; had to wait 1/2 hour for someone to finish their longlining lesson, and then we did indeed do better than yesterday!
interestingly, she's doing some lovely canter on the lunge these days, i used not to be able to get it at all;
it wasn't the best lunging she's ever done, a bit speedy but not unbalanced, but since she hasn't been in work over the winter that was no matter, the point was for her to go the way i wanted until i said stop
she had one glitch towards the end - second time going right (which was of course always her least favourite direction) when she challenged me a couple or three times and had to be corrected and set away again
i found the thing then was to let her out as far a possible to canter and then draw back in to trot...
all the while could hear Charlie shouting for her from away across the other side of the river!

Much better today, then. Seems Molly is learning to concentrate on you even when her buddy is calling for her. That's a good sign of things to come!
