Magic and I rode around the Divide pasture and up the deer hunters road to the spring. We returned by the low road going through the springfield and the pond. We rode down Pinnacle Mountain Road in the narrow lane by the Sycamore pasture where the mares are. Magic noticed that we were going by some horses, probably recognized the mares, but was very interested turning his head to view them straight on and nickering occasionally. I mention this not because it was a problem but that this situation evoked the biggest “reaction” Magic has shown riding new trails and new territory for the past few rides. It was hot, but not as hot as the past few days. Another enjoyable ride.
