Today was pole work (not pole dancing).  First I had to walk over them. . .

 . . . .then trot over them. . . . .

 and then back again. . . .but then a distraction arrived.  My owner's friend brought her children to watch me being put through my paces, while they exercised the rocking horse. . .

 till they decided the real thing was much more fun

and much easier work for me too!
