I worked Magic in a caveson and a lunge line. My feeling was that he was attentive and did not look out across the pasture so much. Until now I have had no preferences about round pen or lunge line. With Magic the lunge line keeps just a little more contact where being loose in the round pen allowed him so much freedom that he began to evade control. At least that is the way it seems to me today.
We went by the trailer and stopped next to it. I reached over and rattled the trailer. He paid no attention to it at all.
I have never seen Magic spook. Not even in the dead of night at the Saline County Fairgrounds and I was thinking there might be some spooks there for sure. He gives me confidence!
