Lunge Work

Wednesday June 25 2008

It was much too windy to get on Drum today even if someone was home. He was dancing around on the end of the rope even when I was grooming him. I geared him up and walked him down the farm to one of the big paddocks and lunged him.

He was much more interested in some cows over on the next farm so I doubt he learnt anything but he did get plenty of exercise. He had a superb forward trot on each rein and cantered nicely on each rein as well. He threw in a few bucks at the wind but was otherwise easy enough to work.

The saddle flaps and saddle pad were blowing around in the wind and slapping his sides which made him jumpy but he soon got used to it and ignored it.

An otherwise uneventful day.
