Magic and I took the same ride today as we did Tuesday. We looked hard but found no sheds today. I did notice (perceive?) that we might be improving just a little bit. I hope. At least that is what I felt today. Like we might be making slow improvement. All we have to do is keep it up for a long, long time and we will be very good. We are working on bending his neck, giving me his head when I ask for it. Clinton Anderson does it a lot, too much I think sometimes. (Maybe that is because he can do it and I cannot.) Magic will give his head but is very persistent about moving his feet. I don’t like to keep trying something without improvement so I switched it up a little bit today. I asked him to bend his head, just a little, while we walked straight ahead. True to previous experiences he is more inclined to bend to the left than to the right. But he did do it, just a little.

Tomorrow we are off to ride the Buffalo. We will ride with Don and Carol Miller starting at Steel Creek.
