Did really well; he wanted to up the side of the mixed field, did that no bother, did the gate (after several attempts to line myself up to get it, M's feet in a mudbath!). Then realised i'd opened it too far so had to go back through to pull it to a bit, and then back out to close it, which again took some lining up..
then carried on, by this time we're along the top of the drive at the top of the park, half way along he stopped. i'd been admiring a pattern where someone has been schooling in a grazing field (they're not supposed to! but it's clear from horseback that someone has!) - so after 5 minutes or so of failing to get forward, i led the rest of the way.
so clearly lead the rest of the way is working in that we got a lot further than last time.
adn this was the first time i've ever gone that route on my own anyway, and previous attempts to do the gate have failed totally,
so overall a succes.
shame there's no where else to get back on further round, but can't be done!
