But let me say, YAY! I am so happy you have a horsey project! Photos as fast as you can. That is my favorite size also, btw.<BR/><BR/>My advice, such as it is, would be to work slowly, slowly, slowly. He has to build up muscle and you are going to be asking him to do things he has never done. I would probably lunge AND ride. It should not hurt him as long as you keep it all light. Don't ask for a lot, just help him create a balanced nice rhythm and build his strenght. Treat him like a gren little baby. Make sure he understands halt. ;) You will be building a language and you will have TONS of fun. Oh, one last thing about the canter. Build his strength within the trot. Teach him to take longer strides and shorter strides when you ask and that will build his rear and enable him to canetr later on. I am very very happy for you.Zinniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852883599746069775noreply@blogger.com
