Hey everyone.
I loan a 17 year old mare that to my knowledge has NEVER been lunged before. She is getting quite fat, so I want to introduce lunging so that I can still excercise her if I cant ride for whatever reason and to build on her fitness. I know how to lunge and I know that I will have to build up the timing etc gradually. What I really want to know is how I can teach her to lunge? I was planning on having someone lead her on the outside to begin with, but if anyone has any other tips and suggestions then it would be much appreciated!
Thank-you!
