lunge lessons

[ShapeSorterGoesWild]

Just wondering if anyone else is having lunge lessons and what sort of things you work on. I've mainly been doing trotting without stirrups and trying to do exercises at the same time, which is hard! :)

When I was 7-8 my teacher had me, doing this, trotting without stirrups, arms out straight like a star, and arms folded which was the hardest, then arms out arms arms in on shouts, rising trot without stirrups, grip with the knees! Small jumps with arms out straight and without stirrups too.

I found cantering with arms folded the worst as just felt like I was falling out the side door so would grab the saddle and get shouted at.
Some days I hated it

Haha! Apparently, we will be doing rising trot without stirrups...which will be interesting!

I guess the arms folded when cantering must stop you shoving with your seat. I know what you mean about possibly hating it! It's a bit like a roller coaster when you're not sure how it's going to work when when you first try. Really need to work on my balance though :)

Which I was 7 now! I don't think I will bounce as well on the floor at 37!

I think I'd benefit from something like this too! Good luck!

The cantering with arms folded on a tight circle, made you want to learn in Against the getting flung off the outside feeling,
I'm not sure it was to stop shoving. More so you learnt to sit and balance without relying on the reins and horses mouth.

Rising trot without stirrups, takes some getting use to, like I said grip with the knees, you'll probably end up leaning forward to begin with (and get.told off), but they'll want you straight backed and on the movement.

Are you just learning to ride or brushing up?

Good luck

Brushing up kind of...long break so might as well be learning again! :)
