il faut parle Francais....

Monfils lunges nicely to "marche" and "allez" etc...

so i guess i need an english/french horse training dictionary!

but i was really pleased today - both reins, twice, walk & trot.

by no means perfect, he needs to relax, but considering i was losing the will to live a couple of months ago, this is good!

more of it and he'll be much happier with it, and i'll only introduce the bridle and roller once he's happy with the work without.

but i might put a notice on the stable door as to why i'm not riding yet! LOL

  1. Aha! A light bulb moment...and perhaps the fact that you Brits still drive on the wrong side of the road, you're having some "directional" challenges?? *just kidding.*

    Certainly, I've heard of dogs responding only to commands in one language or another. Why not a horse?

    Here you go: A link to a pretty comprehensive French horse terms dictionary:
