I gave Cooper the weekend off as it seemed he was sore after a lot of hard work that he is not used to. I worked him a little in the round pen, he was a little stiff on his left rear leg. He went at a nice slow pace, kicked out a little when asked for a lope (canter) but did very well. I did some stretches on his legs and tacked him up and went for a ride. We were both relaxed and it was a very nice ride. We didn't work long, on the ground for about 15 minutes and in the saddle for 15. We were in the round pen for about 15 minutes also. While grooming afterward I found an itchy spot on his hock, he liked it so much, his lip was almost touching the ceiling. Silly boy, I'm sure if he wasn't in the cross ties he would have groomed me back.
