In a fit of tidyness, I sorted all my harnesses and reins and took them home to organise. So when we decided to do some more neck reining today, everything was at home!!! I improvised with an old stirrup leather and some rug straps and we used the old headcollar. Merlin wasn't so keen today, but we still did well.
He was listening to front and back, and got over his need to hang back and walk with me, despite a little unfair jeering from Toffee!
The session only lasted 10 minutes today, but afterwards, Merlin was yawning a lot, so I'm glad I didn't overdo it. Small steps now make the biggest difference in the long term.
