Today I groomed and tacked-up Magic in his stall. Glory, the TB / Purcheron mare often interrupts our sessions in the aisle by lunging out with her teeth. She is huge and I am afraid it will turn the barn over. Magic was more accepting of the body brush today. On the lunge with the caveson in the round pen, Magic did very good. We only walk trot and today he seemed very attentive. When I put him him in a trot, he stayed there w/o any coaxing. When he was supposed to walk, that is what he did. He is learning to stay on the rail and not take any shortcuts by cutting corners.

Then I got on him. Only in the round pen and just a few minutes. He is a real horse. I’m on cloud nine in seventh heaven. This is the horse I’ve been looking for!
