Float training is complete

Wahooo what a brilliant day we had today. I firstly scrubbed and washed Gypsy and Sarg- Gypsy absolutely gleams after a good bath...She has that beautiful black shiny coat and looka a million dollars, you can almost see yourself in her coat...a picture of health...Sarg isn't as glossy - a totally different type of coat- bit more fluffy- chocolate brown...He looks so adorable with his white socks shining out with no mud attached.
Louka was a dream through the 7games- not all perfected properly yet but we are making huge inroads into it all- got 3 steps both ways to the sideways game today- then we practised on "It's not about the float"...We went down over the stream and practised walk and trot for showing on Sunday..Hope he goes this well at the actual show!!! He was a star...Sarg and Louka both together  look'n good....then we got the float and put Sarg on- He loves the float (Hasn't been on for about 8 months and he just went on and stood there while we yoyo'd Louka 2 steps forward and then back- He would've gone straight on I think- but I decided to just ease him on anyway...back and forth with lots of rest in the float- He was sooo relaxed - then we put the back bar up- wiggled everything that could be wiggled -then undid it all again (about 3 times back & forth with yoyo ing allowing him to rest in a comfortable place) then put him on again and did the bar and the back of the float up (repeated this 3 - 4 times ) and then we drove down the drive.  They were great. Took them off- no hassle here either (did it 3-4 times again) and then it was into the roundpen for Louka to play with the ball and barrell...while Sarg stood groundtied- put their covers on to keep their coats as clean as possible- then back to the paddock and a feed....they were just amazing- long may it last
