cilla in arena....... did one rein riding, then progressed to change of direction with mainly one rein and flag - nice responses, even with cack handed rider. having vague flashbacks of reins being removed and being made to ride.  cilla is progressing from favouring the gate to the arena, she has also been taught her the far corner is a nice place to stop, this seems to have broadened her horizons somehow.

secret - we were chased us round in circles on the line, towards the end both of us were getting the hang of changing directions and putting feet and hooves in near enough the right places. jelly legs cant keep this up for very long but some form of progress was made.
