Just passing through...
So, we started lunging LC a couple of days ago.
He was very good - remembered all the voice commands, worked very well
, including being a cheeky bobbo, which was funny and nothing very naughty. In fact, considering that he hasn't been worked for nearly two years, he was brilliant!
Today D1 got on him, bareback
I lunged, giving the voice commands and backing up with the lunge whip (he just needs a tickle sometimes), and D1 worked legs and seat.
After about ten minutes with a few transitions, we determined that he remembers Walk, Canter, Whoa, but Trot was missing. A few more goes of D1 asking (voice, seat and legs) with me backing her up, and LC got it!
We called it a day then. He'd done so well and D1 had ridden so sympathetically, it was lovely to see.
I have a video, just need to try and get it onto Photobucket.
