Secret - training notes 31st Jan- inc. road work

Looking really good, great condition for the time of year.  Worked gently in sand school  due to frost. Nice side passes down the poles.  JB aware of his feet. Neck reining at walk was excellent.  His back ups and roll back are nice.  Lateral movement good.  Stops need to be a bit snappier, but the ground was too frozen to put much into them this morning.  Hacked out up the lane for some road work and traffic, very relaxed boy, stood calmly as he waited for the farm electric gate to open and cars drove passed him.  No problems, just very calm.  Nice around the Irish wolfhound loose on the yard.  Secret was more inquisitive than the dog, touched noses had a sniff, he didn’t even move his feet or ears, watched her as she roamed about.
