We finished our stay at Brandt’s on a high note. Both JP and
I had really good rides. Chambord was very distracted because his girlfriend
was calling him, and one horse banged loudly at the walls in the barn. Brandt
explained that it is key to keep Chambord occupied with lots of varied exercises.
JP and Chambord hit their grove and cantered happily in the field.
As soon as I got on Remy felt great.
He was attentive and focused. We tackled the noisy bridge, even crossing it at the trot,
flawlessly. The basketball play we skipped, after ..umh… I had accidentally hit Remy
in the head with the ball the other day. It reminded me of what Isabell said when she
got off course in Aachen: “It’s not the poor horse’s fault that he has a blonde
on his back”. Sorry, Remy!
Brandt took us to the trails in the woods, but to get there
we had to go through a narrow path between corn fields. That was made more
interesting by the dog darting in and out. Remy really had to pick up his feet
in the woods as it was quite the obstacle course weaving around trees and over downed branches,
roots, etc. It made him really focus and we truly enjoyed it.
We finished in the pond, perfect on a 90F day!
Note to JP: The boys want a pond!! And what the boys want...
