I led Newt to the arena. We lunged at the walk, trot and canter in both directions. I soon became obvious that he was full of himself today. We rode the needlepoint and oval exercises and a little on the circle. We did not attempt the canter. He was just a little too full of himself. We worked a little on the turn on the forehand. I just wanted him to step his rear end away from my leg and he did. I got off after the arena work. No trail ride today. I walked him back to the barn. He did a lot of fussing with the bit today. He offered residence today but occasionally he would forget himself and just fall into cooperation with good bend and control.
