Glamour girl!



Superhubby got a new camera and lens and as he was going to come down to the yard yesterday, he asked me to get Bally to strut her rather wonderful stuff so he could take piccies :-) All of them are thumbnails so if you click on them you'll get the bigger picture

So he took some in the field..saying hello!

And putting her headcollar on.

Then we went out and did some mounting block work...B was her usual extremely well behaved self and let me lollop about all over her This was B getting a telling off - look at her face!!

Off into the school where I just baby lunged off the headcollar - not asking for anything other than forward movement..preferably when and in the pace I asked for.......She showed off her stunning trot ....



Oh and And her amazingly uphill...um whoopee... er...canter / leap/buck combo (unasked for I might add!)



Once she'd calmed down and we got some sensible walk and trot work I let her off and
We played with the blocks off the lead ...and she happily wandered around completely loose

So it wasn't a fluke!!!

Then off to Bessie Horsebus to have our weekly loading training.....

B went on OK, let me move her around..then with some trepidation I got Gi to bring the gate across...and I clipped her onto the leadrope in the box, so she was tied in for the first time!!



She was brilliant, no bother at all. We even got the second gate shut whilst we were there, but for safety sake Gi was on standby to open them in case she wasn't happy...but as you can see she remained calm and relaxed throughout!!

All in all we had a lovely and very successful day, B looked gorgeous and loves showing off for the camera...as one so very beautiful (who knows it) should!!!
