Went out to see Dru today for the first time in over a week! He had a lot of energy, so we did a lot of lunging. First I joined up just to let him move around a bit, and he was being really good, so I tacked him up and was about to get on when he ran backwards and refused to go on one side of the arena. There was a horse beside the arena and he was scared of it. So I got a lunge line and lunged him a little, went to get back on and he started backing up and was really nervous and still had a lot of energy so I decided to keep lunging him. I liked it because I could get him into all the corners and scary spots and he had to get used to it. He was really relaxed and supple by the end, so that was nice.
