I have had some trouble lunging my new Fjord I bought in August.
She was very rusty in her ground manners and the first couple of times
lunging her I was nearly run over, as she turned into me quickly and
seriously. Again I turned to our trainer for some tips, as she is younger
and faster. Also smarter, because she figured out very quickly that the
trouble came at the walk. When you asked Kristi to walk, she assumed she
was done and turned in and stopped, no matter what gesticulations you
were making with your body and whip!
When the trainer kept her at a trot, Kristi, for the most part,
stayed on her circle and trotted. Problem kind of solved, though I still
feel odd asking a horse to trot right out without walking a bit first.
