Didn't ride but took Balthazar out for some pick out of sight of the other horses. He wanted to return to them but wasn't anxious so it is already becoming 'old hat'. Did some parelli stuff. Interesting in that he circled with energy without me asking for extra of same. Had all four feet booted up. He was fine about that but the offside front one spun on the hoof twice and had to be restrapped. Not happy about that. Will try with pads in and if that doesn't work put the hind boots on the front as they are a size smaller. The knee is almost normal.
