Groomed, worked and rode Magic in the round pen and I rode him in the Bull Pen which is a pasture of about 3 or 4 acres. Things went good in the round pen. Magic showed some uncertainty in the Bull Pen and wanted to go back to the gate. He would “veer” towards the gate but never balked or refused to turn away from the gate. Since he was uncertain I kept him busy following imaginary paths around clumps of grass. I expect he has seen arenas and roads but never a place where it was not obvious where we were going. No problems but this was a time where he did not know exactly what was going on. We only did it about 5 or 8 minutes. We did remember to go by the trailer. When I opened the back trailer gate, he remembered some of our past problems there. But the only thing that was required of him at the trailer today was that he accept a treat.
