The lunging didn't get done yesterday, but did today, and it was challenge gaynor time
he set off ok, the plan was 4 minutes each rein after warming up slowly in walk....
after 2 minutes on the second rein, he stopped and was refusing to behave at all...
it was "no i will not" "yes you will" for a good 5 minutes, if not longer, till Gaynor got him going again.....not on the rein he'd stopped on - and then the same challenge, if not for quite so long, when going back to the rein that he had stopped on....
first time he's REALLY challenged her, i think.....
and the lameness? well who knows, he might just be winding us up. He was fine on his left fore, but there were a couple of circuits where he was dropping his right shoulder - but on the left rein. on the right rein, no problems at all...
we think i'll ride tomorrow (hopefully, i'll be fit to do so!) just a walk down the track and back, straight lines.
he is, of course, sound as a pound hoolying about the field!
