Both travelled down to Windsor well, and spent yesterday getting use to their new environment. Cilla on her first day, spent some time rushing around the arena looking for the M1 signs back to Derbyshire, but by the end of 20 mins she decided that the best place to be was next to the trainer and she joined up.
Secret: He entered the arena like a lion and came out looking more like a horse! I turned him loose after a bit of rubbing and off he went . . . . only to come back a few minutes later when he realized Derbyshire wasn't at the end of the arena. He worked really well on the long line and followed all directions and changes and we did some lateral ground work. He over achieved with a few minutes of bareback trotting around the arena. He needs to keep his feet more occupied and therefore have a purpose along with the direction - I honestly think he'll be a bit of fun to work with.
