We rode in the arena, around the Oak pasture and up on Shirey. Today is the first time I took Magic up via the Hoodoo Trail. We just took the part up to the top. I have decided that the complete Hoodoo Trail around Shirey Mountain is not a good trail for horses. It is too tight, too close to serious drop offs and too many house size rocks for a horse to meet a real spook. And there are serious spooks, buzzards nesting under rocks and rattlesnakes just to mention some that I have met on horseback on the Hoodoo Trail. Magic did great, completely calm and under control on the steep slick rocks and all. In the arena I rode\u00a0serpentines to work with Magic&#8217;s hard side. I am paying close attention to this tendency and quite often he is bent to the left even if we are going straight on a trail. He will bend much better on the 10 meter radius turn than on a bigger radius turn. I think I see a way to improve this situation. We will work on it and see. It was a very nice ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I rode Magic this morning. We rode in the arena, around the Oak pasture and up on Shirey.
