I have been lunging and riding Ronin. I lunge him for a few minutes before I get on focusing on rhythm, relaxation, balance. We have been doing lots of transitions, spiraling in and out, and moving around the arena. My rides have been very laid back. He is very energetic and a little spooky. All he does is shy at things for a few minutes and if you hang tight and keep your aids there but relaxed...he settles right into his work.
Today was the first day we cantered! It was wonderful! He has such good natural engagement it is great to ride such a talented youngster!
