Just to do when I have to use field, he is recovering from tendon injury so no trotting but can do walk work. However I do have to sometimes use field if I havn't got a hacking buddy as being a wuss he won't go on his own.

Ideas pls, as I want to keep it interesting for both of us xx
 
Circles, shallow loops, serpentines are all your friends. Is he up to some lateral work, or will that be a bit much for him?

A nice exercise to build suppleness once he's well warmed up - walk down the centre line, and ride a series of 10m circles:

Rubbish diagram, but you get the idea I hope:o
 
I quite like to vary the pace within the walk - so will get 3 speeds within the walk, great for obedience and keeping them tuned in, and you can increase the time spent on the faster walk as he becomes fitter.
