Well, I typed this once and lost it.
I've been riding Popeye a lot over the last few days. He has gotten better and better to ride. I just have so much fun when I ride Popeye. I always have.

The second day I started riding him again, he rode well for me. At the end of our ride, he was trotting on a loose rein, came down to a walk and then a hault, all calmly when I asked. He's green, so it wasn't show ring quality, but it was an improvement for him. I was very pleased.

Yesterday (Tuesday), We rode in the pasture again and he was much more relaxed. We were even able to lope a couple circles in each direction without a round pen. That was exciting for me.

Popeye has such a great personality. He knows I'm going to ride him when  go out to see him, but he still comes over to me on his own to get some attention. He's smart, but not devious like some horses I know. he wants to please you. He's a good boy.
