Hi ladies, Hope you are all well.
I ride a 6 year old gypsy cob. He's very green, But so laid back it's unreal. He's a lovely ride, But i'd like to get him lunging, Mainly so i can keep on top of his work when i can't ride as i struggle in the cold weather with my back.
He's never been lunged. He has not got a clue what i want and is very baby about it. I put him on the lunge today and managed to get him to walk around with someone else walking around the outside about 5 feet away from him while i took the lunge line. He doesn't do anything 'naughty' as such, It's more baby behavior wanting to follow someone and turning to just face me lol!
He did a little trot too and i decided to end it there as he did try.
I've never struggled with lunging, The only horse I've ever had to start with scratch from was my colt and he walked around once and just suddenly clicked on what i wanted and that was it!
So, Any tips on getting him lunging nicely would be appreciated!
