Violette and Vidock Vendredi


Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! Do you remember how last week, I said that I had watched Vidock at work, and that I was told that my turn would come? Well, guess what? It came a lot sooner than I thought. I too went back to school. I had not had any lessons since June of last year, and I remembered everything I had been taught. In fact, Ms. C said that I was an excellent student!!!


I wasn't frightened of the big puddles of water, or anything!



#1 told me she was very proud of me!



Vidock: Studly Neighs! I have been continuing my  lessons and I am doing really well. In fact, #1 has been admiring the beauty of my gait in the various photos she took! I have had a couple of lessons since I last wrote about my schooling. Here I am, training with a surcingle and long reins:


Next time around, it was just lunging:


See how beautifully I pick up my feet?


And extend on the trot?


It's fun to go to school, and we both got lots of apples and carrots afterwards!
