Cody in the Round Pen

Tricia was still feeling under the weather so we didn't have a lesson tonight. Since it was 40+F I figured I better get out and do something. Cody and I went into the round pen to work on some of our manners. I don't know what the deal is. He was nearly perfect. Circling and doing up and downward transitions on voice commands. Backing when asked. Stepping over a pole when asked. He even circled at liberty and was really exceptional when I asked for a halt. He stopped right where he was still facing the way he was going, and turned his head to look at me. So if he's so darn good in the round pen, why is he such a pill under saddle? Crazy horse.
