You know when you are trail riding mostly you don’t notice leads that much. I pretty much knew he was stiffer, I just never “thought” about it that much tho. The first time I asked for the right lead, it took several tries to get him to pick it up, and then he switched back once after I’d got him going, sneaky devil:). But after some practice he was doing a lot better. I’ll just have to remember to watch for him to regress there.
Humidity is horrible to deal with rather animal or human. It’d rather it be 100 and low humidity, then 80 and high, which is what it is today. Nothing is moving today, it’s just miserable.

That's a perennial problem at our barn, I'm riding a new horse right now who has a lot of trouble picking up the right lead. He's getting tired of going around to the right in endless circles . . . but as soon as he gets it I canter down one side, hop off, loosen his girth, and walk him out for a drink. He's figuring out that GOOD things happen when he takes that lead . . . .
