Today was my first day with Doc. I started off by lunging Doc off the lunge line to warm him up and make sure he had all the spook out of him before I rode him. Dad came out about half way through lunging. I was having a hard time getting Doc to keep loping. Dad said I was getting ahead of him too much and Doc just didn’t know what I was asking of him. Lunging is hard for me and it’s not usually a part of the training process once I get the horses. Eventually I got it right and Doc lunged just fine. After lunging I was able to ride doc. He did much better than I thought he would. Today I just trotted and loped circles to get a feel for Doc and allow him to get a feel for me.
