I rode Glory again today. I learned something today also. Magic may not be the nicest horse when I am on the ground but he is a dream to ride. It is a challenge to me to work with Glory and get her where she steers like Magic. On a normal size horse a rider straddles the horse. On Glory it is more like I am perched up there. Her moves are so powerful that I seem to bounce around. I have a lot of improvement to make. Glory has shown me several specific things I need to improve. We will work on it.

Magic is better today. I was not able to identify any area of heat. Not as specific as yesterday. He limped a little when he came out of the stall this morning but the first few steps out of the stall are often irregular for many horses. I did not see any lameness tonight. He cantered from the gate into the barn.
