Having been to the Nile on Thursday, it was off to India, Havanna and Mars yesterday. India's loading continues to improve with each session so that today she accepted the partition and stood for much longer in the trailer before she went out. Her owner also loaded her for the first time too. India used to be quite awe inspiring when she said no but is now really responsive and tries all the time. Havanna has accepted the bridle being held against her face with my hands between her ears and I have also started to gently fold her ears down as I will need to do when they go under the browband. Mars is standing for much much longer periods in the trailer and becoming much more relaxed. Significant progress in the case of each horse but a good reminder that there can be no such thing as a quick fix in a lot of cases.
