Hi all

I have a 4yr old mare who i'm just starting to lunge etc. i had a physio look at her yesterday to check her over and she says to work her long and low in walk and some trot to start with and build on that. this is due to the fact that she is very weak and stiff behind and quite weak thru her back!!
Does any1 have any tips/advice on how to get her long and low without using any gadgets as i don't want her to feel trapped and get worried as she can get stressed over things like that!!
I have thought about using a lungie bungie which is quite kind and i lunge my dressage mare in it n she goes well!?!
Any advice would be great!! :)
 
I'm interested to see any responses to this, I have a young mare that needs to work long & low too. I've tried a chambon which she fights, can't use a pessoa as she doesn't like anything around her back end!
