Sarah arrived at 7.00 this morning for a ride on Driza, you can't fault her enthusiasm. It was a great lesson, Sarah has improved no end from being a complete beginner to really understanding how to guide Driza through the bending poles and doing some basic dressage.
At 4.30 Joe arrived for his first meeting with Lily. Lily had her first day out in the paddock with the rest of the herd today. She spent most of her day on the fringes, however, I'm sure it wont take long for her to work her way into the herd. The herd came in but Lily was a little hesitant, she hasn't learned our ways yet. Once in the round-yard she was groomed and saddled ready to go. Joe had to work hard to get her to on her own. She was happy to follow me but when I stopped she stopped. After quite a lot of coaxing Joe managed a couple of good 20 metre circles in the arena.
