Working Caesar

Erica doesn’t have all the gear necessary to ride Caesar yet – there’s the pad, saddle and girth and bridle/ bit things we have yet to acquire. So for now, Erica has been “lunging” Caesar so he can get some exercise. This basically entails having the horse move in a circle while tethered to a long lunge line.

Break into a Trot
Start with a walk and then break into an easy trot

Around and Around
Soon, Caesar is moving at a nice clip and Erica signals for him to canter.

Crack the Whip

Bucking
For whatever reason, Caesar decided to buck while rounding that North West corner. He did it two times, so maybe he is uncomfortable with something there.
Good Job
After cooling down, Erica takes some time to let Caesar know he did a great job.
