on the learning to lunge front - M was much more willing to keep going forward today, despite distractions from the mares in the field next to the arena - i wasn't going to get trot, but walking, either direction, was happening.....
slow but steady, i guess, by the end of the winter we might have got somewhere!
YHL was ok - not the shopping bargains that people had said one could normally get - did get ONE bargain, for Gaynor's eldest (nice winter jacket for £5!); bought a new saddlecloth, but it is longer than the current one, and too long, i think, for the saddle, so that's depressing. heather Moffett's new book (she's rewritten Enlightened Equitation totally, with a load of new pics) and saw her new saddle, looks rather good; came home with money left over.
Good and bad then about your trip. Saving money is always good, but finding bargains is much more fun. Sounds as if the economy is hitting hard everywhere.
ReplyDeleteGood work on the lungeing progress.
