We went for a ride

I took Chance for a little ride around the neighborhood today. Just for the fun of it. Also to see how he did in the front of the trailer. He usually rides in the back but because he is the only horse going and the ride is so long, I think he should be in front to keep the weight closer to the truck. He was a little confused and thought he should stay in the back of the trailer. He would walk to the front and turn around, then stop at the back waiting for the door to shut. After 3 times I had to re-think this. The 4th time he walked in, turned around again and stopped at the door. So I backed him to the front and asked him to stand. I then closed the divider and took off the lead line. Then we went for a little ride. He never really relaxed or ate any of the hay but he did poop and I thought that was a good sign. It was a short ride, and very uneventful. Just perfect. Maybe I'll put a saddle on him tomorrow.
