Varies reasons, I am massively short on time at the moment, mare is getting ridden 1 -2 times a week but its not enough and she is live wire, very jumpy and spooky. I am desperately trying to get weight (and muscle) on her which her behaviour is being counter productive for.
I have time in my routine (just) to add lunging for 15/20 mins 3 times a week of lunging, Is this enough to be doing her any physically good, improve her fitness, maybe help take the edge of her?
I have a Pessoa, which I was thinking of adding after a couple of weeks to make her work harder.
She hates long reining or lunging with 2 reins with a passion, owned her 5 years and never been able to resolve issues she panics and runs blindly so as much as I would rather long rein its not going to happen with this rather strange little mare!
