Groomed Phoenix and walked him around the perimeter of the upper pastures.  Put Coppersept on his hooves.  Did flexion with the halter, yielding the hindquarters, and "touch and rub" exercises with Onyx.  First time [for that] - he overanticipated a bit, but did well.

Filled the boys' water tank on my own this morning, then did a refresher on groundwork with both since we haven't done much of anything with them the past 2 weeks: flexing, yielding hindquarters and forequarters, and desensitizing to leadrope and stick-and-string.  Then I took them for a walk since they were both pretty quiet and respectful.  They grazed along the creek and then we went across the road through the cornfield.
