Looking for a little advice.
I am bringing my 5 year old back in to work after being turned away after being started under saddle last year . He was lungeing, long reining , walking and trotting under saddle .
I have been working him ( lunging and long reining) for the last 3 weeks slowly building him back up . I add in his side reins last week as I used them last year and just on loose for now but not too loose . However someone on the yard said I shouldn’t be using side reins and to be very careful with them . That I should Pessoa him instead.
This has left me really confused as I don’t know what she meant be careful. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on Pessoa vs side reins for a youngster ?
Thanks x
