hey folks
you may have read after having a poorly 4yr with liver troble he is now on the mend and put on loads of weight. we are now allowed to work him for roughtly 30mins although i havent done any riden work as we have been working on groung manners such as standing still to be tacked up/mounted ect. we have tried to lunge him in the possa and lets just say he isnt too keen on this so have resorted to lunging in side reins.
I know i need to to more ridden work but want to take things slow. He wont hack out alone yet and is still a baby so again were working up to this so no hill work at present and is more than a handful out in hand alone which again is an on going project
so my question is how can we help him build muscle with out getting bored of lunging?
please excuse the spelling im dyslexic:p
 
How about...

long reining?

Lots of walking/hacking out in hand (then you should be able to go by yourself?

Put hay on floor to build up neck muscles - if you dont mind a messy stable!

Unfortunatley muscle tone doesnt just come - it does take a lot of hard work.

Would really love to be kept updated with progress pictures :)
