I drove Magic and Chippy yesterday. Magic was fairly good. I drove him a little ways down the road and after I turned around I saw a kid running after us, so I let Magic trot down the road away from him (I know, I'm awful! I just didn't want to stop and Magic was being a brat, and I didn't want the kid to get bitten). HOLY MACRAL!! Magic can trot SO fast! That was the fastest I've ever seen him trot! It. Was. Awesome! Haha. But then when we get to the standing part, he fights. Bigtime. He'll stand still for a moment and then a)pivot to the left b)back up or c) go forward. When I try to steer him back to where he should be or to make him stand still, he fights, and then he keeps moving and then he usually ends up rearing or almost rearing. I don't envy Mikaela at all (except for Magic's speed).

Then I drove Chippy and boy, did I miss him! He is so much more responsive than Magic and he will stand still as long as you want him too! He is still cracking a little bit, but he's definitely not in any pain. I figured out that it is his front right knee that is cracking. I think that part of his issue is that he doesn't drink much water, since water helps lubricate the joints. They have a salt block, but he still doesn't drink that much. But Mikaela & I will be showing Magic & Chippy at the Colts & Fillies show on the 5th. Is anybody else showing there?
