Today I lunged Andy for 20 minutes in side reins with an eggbutt snaffle. He was very well behaved even with idiot Boozer running around like crazy in the pasture. He did some trot work, about 10 walk-trot and trot-walk transitions in both directions, and about 6 trot-canter transitions. The trot-canter transitions are very bad and this is what I really need to get better. I have a lunging cavesson but couldn't use it because it was too small, even though it is horse sized. I ordered a new lunge line and an EquiAmi which is a bitting rig from England.
The plan is to work him on the ground two days a week, flat him two days a week, and then hack him one or two days a week. Once we perfect our canter, we will move on to jumping. Hopefully this will happen by year end.
This is Boozer.
