On Saturday we had a very steady rain all morning. I felt bad for Cupid being out there, but him and Bruno didn't seem too upset they just wanted their food.
It cleared up in the afternoon and we went for a ride. Unfortunately I couldn't get Cupid to pick up his left lead. I don't canter him every ride yet, usually only about twice a week. It was a little discouraging because the last few times he got it right away. I decided to give up on that for the day, but we had a great right lead canter twice around the large arena. Cantering an ex-racehorse is a lot of fun! I've never gone full speed on him, he doesn't try to race, but he has kind of a bounding canter.
Sunday the weather was much nicer, so we went for a little trail ride. There were a few muddy spots where Cupid was sliding around, but he was a very good boy. We went out to a pretty busy road where several motorcycles passed by but he was not concerned about them.
