My mare lunges amazingly in both a pessoa and side reins and she looks amazing, works correctly from behind and stretches down and uses herself correctly, however when i then get back on all hell breaks loose because she ends up so wonky! Doesnt look wonky from the ground when being lunged. Shes quite sensitive so takes a while to get her back straight and supple in both directions. My Training aids are completely even (i've measured them more than once). She seems to like lungeing and its been really beneficial to her over the years but my question is has anyone ever had a similar situation and how did you go about getting around this? I like having lungeing in my weekly routine as it helps me asses them from the ground and get a good look at muscle tone whilst workign and give me a better idea of my affect whilst sittting on her. Or does anyone have any suggestions for different aids that will encourage her to work correctly whilst keeping her straighter without placing uneven pressure on her back or pinning her head (no chance of making out of walk in that case) Would prefer somehting that attaches to the roller or saddle :) (ps, never tried lungeing her off of two reins but im not sure she would accept this, reckon she might just spin round and go the other way) Thanks in advance :P
