Well, I've had my little moan for the day, and now it's time to look at something a lot more lighthearted. As you may remember, 'Bugatti' was working hard over the weekend, doing dressage and show-jumping duty, so even though Monday was a Bank Holiday, we thought we'd give him a break. Notwithstanding, he needs his exercise, so we dropped a saddle on him and left off the reins, leading him around the small training area as if it was a parade ring. Usually, he's way too highly strung to try this - he wants to go as soon as the tacking up is completed - but after the eventful two days, his tension was just right, and both Louis and Sophie gained some valuable practice with a quite different beast to 'Jaguar', walking him, and even taking him up to a controlled light trot on the lead. I only wish I'd got Megumi's graphic instructions on camera, as they were truly comical! Even Benny Hill would have been proud...
