Activities without a saddle

[CC123]

Hey, I brought my new mare home yesterday- she's the sweetest girl ever but is struggling to settle into the yard- perfect in the field.
She came with no wardrobe, so I am needing to book in the saddle fitter, but the closest she can do is the 29th which means 2 weeks without a saddle. What kind of activities could I do with her to keep her ticking over, fit, and sane haha please? I'm totally open to groundwork exercises to build her trust and comfort in the new yard.

Hacking out in hand, or ponied off another horse will help her get used to the local area and build a rapport with you.

In hand walks, long reining horse agility.

Long reining, lunging, in hand work over poles etc all really good to get you both used to each other
