Milo is a Goofball

So I discovered today that while Mom isnt at th barn and Milo is bored (like his salt lick and jolly ball isnt enough to cease the boredom!), he grabs the front of his lightweight blanket and pulls it up so high it doesnt cover his rump anymore. Than he can proceed to turn it around or underneath him. Apparently he just wants to make sure the barn staff and anyone else around has something to do in constantly fixing his blanket! Or retrieving his jolly ball from another horse's paddock. What a silly guy.

I rode him today and unfortunately, most times I get to ride is after work when its dark therefore using the arena lights. Apparently, Milo doesnt like all the shadows that the twelve or so lights cast and decided it would be highly important to spook at them every time they are casted against the ground or walls (which of course, is all the time). Not to mention the scary openings of the arena where he can see out into the darkness (its a coverall arena so only the front and back is open to outside). Oh boy Milo what am I going to do with you?

But on a good note, our ride went alright and he seems to finally stop being to stiff on the right side him his turnarounds or spins to the left. Which makes for a nicer smooth and straight turn. :)
