I think it was a couple of week before I put her on the lunge. Just so you are all aware I haven't rushed her into it i.e jumped on and done hours and hours of riding. I started off with 5mins literally. She hadnt a clue what I was asking of her on the lunge and the same long reigning. I have let her go at her own pace, and honestly I have tried loads of saddles on her and she is definately only a narrow at pres. She is really slight if that makes sense. Shes just starting to build muscle up around her shoulders and neck now. I will try and put some pics on tonight. I have only been on her 4 times tops and it was literally walk stop walk stop, just getting her to listen to my voice and she is starting to go forward litterally off my seat position and stand off my position. Please dont think I have hammered her in anyway
I am an athlete myself and do alot of road running and half marathons, I know what it takes to get fit and I know by rushing into things can cause injury, I have taken everything on board honestly and I welcome all advice I really do but please dont get the wrong picture. I do want to keep up the long reining just to build her topline and general fitness
but I am going to hold off getting on her until the new year ??
