Magic and I rode this morning. We worked on the lunge with cavaletti. Magic is improving. He took the correct leads off the little jumps. We cantered about three rounds each way.  It was warm. Magic is shedding. It was a short ride.

Newt and Little More were in the pasture where I have the cavaletti set up and I wanted to move them before Magic and I went in. Somehow in the transition, Newt went into the Sycamore pasture but Little More decided that he would go to the oak barn. Newt has a history of going bonkers when he is left alone which he considers “abandoned”.  I noticed what was happening and set about fixing the problem. Newt ran around the pasture and would slide to a stop at the gate. I was concerned that he might hurt himself as ridiculous as it seems. When I went to get him he did have a small cut on his head. He has issues that are difficult to deal with. He is nice in the barn but goes off the deep end for the smallest provocation.
