Cilla - ground work much improved, less tendency to lean on halter and in general giving a more impulsive reaction to asks. She seems to be developing a good work ethic and has responded very well to basic one rein work. Cilla needs to have her head and not be grabbed at with the reins.
Finished with a walk/ trot/ 10 meters of canter around the track, cilla was v. interested in the 2 stray dogs that appeared and would much rather have chased them around instead. V. impressed with the change in how she feels to ride, head carriage lower and strides less choppy.
Secret - displaying more energy, not quite got the attitude to work to rival cilla's yet but there is a glimmer of it occasionally. In groundwork he is demonstrating better flexion on the circle - and demonstrating that he has a much faster work speed than he actually lets on, mainly because he is a lazy oaf and needs pushing. Secret joined cilla for a walk round the track, apparently it was the first time for him and he was pretty happy about it all. He would rather schlepp along at the back though today.
