back to the ford and back again, and then into the arena; flies not QUITE as bad as last night ... and Monfils not that keen to be in front ... when we got back went into the arena for 5 ...
and he's been much better behaved to turn out lately (he can be quite ill mannered and bolshy if he can't see the other horses) so two nights this week he got taken out with the rope halter, which gives me more control if needed.
i didn't need it ... whether that's because he's finally decided it's not worth the hassle, or whether he can't be bothered, or whether he's just behaving, i have no clue, but i'm pleased as it's quite slippy in places getting to the field what with the rain and not very safe if i'm being pushed about!
I wonder too if you are taking a different attitude with you when you go out to work with him. TB's are very smart and pick up quickly on a person's mood and intentions.
