I was lunging my 19 yo tb last night and he kept losing his back end in trot, what may cause this? He was trotting actively and wasnt being lazy, was lunging him in a pessoa so was using himself properly..
Don't mean to ask the obvious - but was the ground just a bit more slippy than usual?
Could be lots of reasons - is he ok when in-hand or turned out? If he doesn't seem right, (unlevel, etc) then maybe get a 2nd expert opinion. Or see how he is next time you exercise him first (if he seems ok otherwise).
I tried him on a different surface tonight but he did it again, he doesnt seem to lose his back end in the field by himself but then he doesnt trot 20m circles!
