Today I rode Jinx on the road, even though it was windy, and he did very well. He was pretty barn sour; he kept doing a pivot on his hind legs and racing towards home. I turned him in a few circles, and then he did alright. He's really very good at pivoting, but he won't do it on command. I keep saying to myself, 'One of these days you'll get him to do it for you!' but I wonder if I ever will. He is so stubborn; yesterday I had to chase him for an hour, and I still didn't catch him! He was really just a jerk. But today he did much better, and I was proud of him. I took him all the way to our church's parking lot. He wasn't too happy about that, but like I said, my big Jinx man did okay.

hehe, I have the same problem with Marsan, she does beautiful pivots, but not on command! Kayla showed me how you teach them to do it, so we'll have have to try sometime when I'm at your house with Jinx.
