What a good girl she is Gill, you must be thrilled, I have recently started backing Digga with the help of Cheryl, I think having someone on the ground that you can trust is invaluable, I should try and take some pics like you so I have a record of his progress.

It's funny but I have always thought that Remy is going to be very special, a relationship I haven't really had since Pip much as I love all of them. I would never ever have bought a horse unseen let alone one from abroad on the strength of one bad photo and a few short vids, but something compelled me to buy her even though I was not even looking for another horse, and certainly not a Lipizzaner! I hope my feelings prove to be true  - so far they have! |

We have lift off!  First time off the leadrein, she is too good to be true at the moment  . She totally listened to me, didn't try to follow Dave who went off the centre of the school - moved away from my leg when I wanted her to move over, responded to the rein and stopped when I asked. The only time we had a little hiccup was when she stopped and didn't quite understand how to get moving again, but we got there in the end! I love this girl ;D Off she goes   A slight lack of understanding in whoa!  But soon moved off again  Standing politely while I pick up a schooling whip!  Change of rein no problem   What a good girl!!  |

I just can't believe how willing she is, this is only the third time I've sat on her ;D. I'm not complacent though as I know how babies can change, but she is by far the most compliant and responsive of all of them so far . Her ears are always on me too (they are huge LOL). It's so funny looking down on her neck compared with the others, she needs to put on condition and muscle and is so skinny!!  She's not too bad from the side but head on she nearly disappears  |

Wow - brilliant Gill! Maybe you'd better bring her up in May ;D
Does she feel tall as well as narrow?
I love you big grin in the last pic - you look really happy.
What a good girlie she is

The smile says it all doesn't it? What a good girl she is being. Long may it continue! You do look an awful long way from the ground!
