Monfils, that is! lord knows how. it was relatively freshly done when i spotted it as we got them in ... happily not deep enough that we felt we needed the vet, but it got hosed off (he likes the hose to drink from, so that wasn't a problem!). will keep a close eye, though, just in case...
so, no bit for him until that heals. it's not wholly in the corner, but a bit close to it and i wouldn't be happy bitting him until its healed.
so, bitless bridle, and he was lunged - by Gaynor. i lunged Charlie, albeit not quite as hard as Gaynor would have (he knows her, of course!).
Shall i ride bitless, do I think? or shall i try the longlines tomorrow? mmmm
Let the weather be your guide. If it's one of those winter days you don't want to waste (today was gorgeous here) then ride. I've nothing against the longlining idea, though, so it's a good one too! But better if the day's a little "iffy."
