Had a blissful morning in the sun with my Beastlets this morning. I schooled Charlie my 18 year old TB and then took him into the big field for a canter followed by a pop over some little logs. He's not jumped for months but was fab 
Then a friend came over and we went for a nice hack together 
Once Charlie was sorted I got Missi in to do some work. Was going to hack her but decided to give her a school instead. I've barely schooled her since I got her in September, yesterday I did a little bit but that was after a hack, today was our first full session.
I was so pleased with her, can't believe how different her attitude is now! There was no napping, no broncing/bucking when I put my leg on and no explosions when I touched her with my whip. She didn't really put a toe out of line
Schooling wise we both have a lot to work on. I rode like an utter pleb. Need to sit up more, shoulders back and get my leg underneath me as well as a million other things. I felt that she needed a bit more impulsion and needs to be a bit more consistent and listen to my leg! She is also a bit gobby so I'm going to get her teeth checked and have a play with some different bits. So lots to be working on but I'm chuffed that I can get on and ride and actually enjoy her!! She's like a different horse to the nappy, explosive thing she was a couple of months ago!
A few customary pics, only trot ones as I don't think Mum's nerves would have held had I cantered when she was there
CC welcome as always.
Can't wait to get cracking with lessons and little outings now
