Training

3/28 Trot-walk 10 min. Nob pleased.
3/29 Horse suddenly a handful.  Mr. Nob handles misbehavior poorly.  Trot-walk with horse trying to dislodge Nob all the way.
3/30 Nob up.  Horse and rider walk away from mounting stand to trotting area. Nob seen to clobber the horse.  Horse suddenly a gentleman; trots off and on for 10 min.  Nob again pleased.  Nob explained that horse was thumped on slightest premonition of misbehavior instead of waiting till he became dangerous.  Worked.

All three days had progressively faster and longer riderless workouts before the tack work.
