Making lungeing fun?

[HaffiesRock]

When I say lungeing, i mean for cardi exercise really, not working nicely in an outline etc.

I lunge in walk trot and canter, with lots of voice commands and transitions, add in some jumps and grids on the circles but can anyone think of anything else fun for my pony? He needs to lose some weight and gain some fitness but I don't want him to get bored. He loves to jump but I am limited in the jumps I have. I cant ride him at the minute so lungeing is all I can really do, or walk in hand but that isn't very strenuous

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

What about long lining with some weaving, poles to stay in, or even a walk around the yard? When my boy bit through his tongue and could only handle a cavesson for a couple of months it worked really well for him - we even walked over tarpaulins and walked and trotted with friends out on hacks with me running along behind!
