I groomed Newt this morning but he did not seem like he wanted to ride. I lunged him just a little at the walk. I could find nothing wrong but I did not ride, just turned him out in the pasture. I later saw him race Little More down the fence line so there is nothing wrong.
Checked Magic’s hoofs. He seems better this morning. I was expecting to have to get the shoes off today but I will wait and see. If the shoes are not the problem then they will protect his tender feet. I saw him walk in the pasture this afternoon and he is better.
I groomed and rode Little More. I have not ridden him in almost a year. He is a lot of horse and I thought I might see if he can be ridden at a walk. I learned a lot from him when I was riding him last year. He had not been groomed in some time and it was nice to get it combed. His mane would probably mat-up if not combed occasionally as it seems to retain the dead hair rather than let it fall out. Little More was restrained. We were in the round pen and the footing is not the best.
