Ah yes.  Brat Camp.

And it is at Thordale.

Sent by their parents were Gwendolinda, Lyra, Carina and Zoot.  They need to learn how to lead nicely, run up and stand for the Show as well as their future.

Life is not just standing in a field and looking pretty.  Oh no.  Time for work.  Hard work.  We are not asking for rocket science, just for some basic manners.

We spent some time in the school today working on leading nicely and reading body language.

Zoot had another groom to get rid of her last remaining winter coat (Anna’s job – we have been saving it for her on request).

Daisy is building her relationship with Lyra, who is very happy to cooperate.

And Anna is doing the same with Zoot.

I worked with Carina and Gwendolinda who were being a pair of arses, quite literally.

At the moment I feel like taking BeAnne into the ring.  At least she walks nicely and listens to me occasionally.

I want to scream.
