Well there isn't a whole lot to report. The weather is finally starting to warm up a little. Cupid is getting along well with his new pasture mates - he doesn't have a best bud like he used to but no one is picking on him.
The outdoor arena is open once again, it was nice getting a little change of scenery. There were lots of jumps set up, which we use to ride figures around. Some day Cupid and I will be going over instead of around! The new saddle is very comfortable and I think helps me sit a little more correctly - not falling forward as much and my lower legs feel more steady.
I though my new Myler Comfort Snaffle bit was supposed to arrive yesterday so I returned the bit I had been borrowing. Well it was delayed, so I ended up riding Cupid in just his halter with reins on it. We did lots of walk-halt transitions, circles, and a little leg yielding. I tried doing a little trot but it was not very comfortable! He was a good boy though and very responsive to just the halter, I may even get a hackamore for light/trail riding.
He is also still a big beggar. He likes to nose my pockets for treats, though I don't want him to become a biter he isn't too pushy. After he finishes his grain he still likes to pick up his bucket and wave it at me, I think he's asking for a refill!
