I have a rising 3 year old gypsy cob (3 on the 14th September) and I am in no rush to hurry his education as I know cobs are late developers - he is being sent away to be backed next summer.
I have had him 3 weeks now and last week I bitted him in a loose ring French link and he has taken to it so well I just want to do a bit more with him before winter comes and I stop e.g lunging and long reining. Although this isnt new to me as Ive done this hundreds of time with my own pony, this is completely new to me doing it to a young horse.
I would appreciate advice and tips on how to start lunging and what is the best to use (lunge cavesson or bridle) and also long reining.
