4th May, 2009 Note to self






Bank holidays are called holidays for a reason. With 7 of us up at the fields this morning it did at least feel more like a holiday than work. Rosie and Fern both went for a little ride before returning for some traffic training. Both of them took it in turns to "chase" David on the motorbike and then to have him do fly pasts in both directions. Rosie likes the concept of chasing things and Fern coped really well too. We finished the session by getting them to take it in turns to chase and cope with the 4 x 4 and the motorbike on the perimeter road. Pictures to follow.
This afternoon it was off to see Rachel and Frosty at Ladycross. She and her friend Karen have done all of their homework so that getting Rachel in the saddle for the first time was a non-event. We worked on establishing halt and walking on with minimal aids and lots of thinking and that all went well too. By just thinking forward and down, Rachel was able to ask Frosty to lower his head so that he could use his back to the best advantage. He's looking absolutely great too.
