Gorgeous dressage horse Riva, surprised us all today by accepting four blowy carrier bags with very little concern. The idea had been to use it to replicate flapping birds which have spooked her before. The bags themselves were quite rustly but I work very slowly only speeding up incrementally. After that I attempted to imitate the movement and calls of birds! I kept expecting the Autumn Watch crew to turn up. Riva's owner can now repeat and progress this work in various conditions and environments.
