Rode Newt today. I led him to the arena. I put a cross rail for the 4 rail in our setup. Newt could trot it with out jumping the cross rail. He was lethargic which is unusual for him. We were very successful at stopping and standing still today. He was not eager to move though. I do not think anything is wrong with him. I saw him running very fast in the pasture yesterday afternoon. We did our exercises with me pushing all the time. Even though he was lazy I did not get the feeling that he was calm and trusting. We rode under the dam and to the west end of the pasture and back. I walked him back to the barn.
