Catching the bus

While mounting Zippy can still be a bit like jumping onto a passing London bus :-) , he is doing brilliantly. We had a hack out and he saw a pedal bike, motor bike, mini-bus and a full size trailer for the first time today. He looks, but he isn't silly. (Silly? Now, who would THAT be???)

We had a good long trot, which was fantastic. Absolutely floating over the tarmac :-) Yet again he didn't want to turn for home, and dawdled back the way we had come.

I am really, really looking forward to tomorrow with Jazz. I'll get him as far as I can manage!

Zip and Chance seem to have the same outlook on life. He to goes out with enthusiasm, so far hasn't spooked at anything, and he comes back slowly. Interesting contrast to the "Other horse" who shall go nameless.

COMMIT to the fence. Don't even think about a refusal. He CAN jump everything, therefore he WILL jump everything. If you can get that into your head, your psychic vibes will carry right into his brain.

Looking forward to good news tomorrow.
