Lunging for fun and profit

Yesterday was my first day back to the barn in about a week. Due to some conflicts and limited time, I didn't have time to ride Toby. I got him out and got him ready to lunge. We were able to go into the outdoor arena. He started out really forward in the trot, but things went pretty well.

He started to canter and spooked himself. Obviously, this wasn't going to go much better than our ride last Thursday. I ended up having to bring him in on a 10 meter circle before he would stop cantering.

After we lunged both directions, we spent some bonding time walking around the outdoor. He did relax and seemed to really enjoy it. Hopefully, our ride tomorrow will be better than the last.
