hullo, right i need some recomendations please!
i have recently started working full time, and have taken on a second horse for a while to help a friend out. these points combined mean that i am pretty pushed for time keeping two horses fit and managing to get home before the clock strikes midnight (was away from home between 6.30am and 8.30pm yesterday
)! I plan to lunge one horse, and ride the other each night midweek, obviously alternating and giving each horse a day or two off.
However i want to make sure that they are working properly whilst being lunged. i dont see the point in just making them run in circles, they need to be using themselves. My mare is also pretty nervy to lunge, however i can definately get around that - i just need something that i can introduce gradually.
So, any suggestions? i know loads of people will shout 'PESSOA' at me, but i cannot afford to spend £80, and it needs to be adjustable, as it will be used on two differant horses - with a hand's size differance - although the same rug size (i dont know if thats relevant). thanks in advance
