There was a 26 mile trip the other day from Woolum to Horn Mountain. \u00a0I prefer a shorter ride like the one we did today. It is easier on the horses and the time required is much more acceptable. Good weather, just a little wind, beautiful fall colors and good company. A very nice day. Magic did good. Once or twice he stood still when I wanted to go forward. Not a balk because if I increased the pressure, he moved on. This is the first time I have noticed this behavior. My expectation is that it will not happen again. We paid no attention to it and just went ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magic and I rode on the Buffalo today.
