doh ....

we didn't know we had to book the arena.... walked over there about 2.30 or so with a view to lunging .. lesson going on ... are supposed to book?  not sure, have emailed for guidance.

so walked back, being overtaken AGAIN on the bridge with a blind bend ahead - this time, something came round the blind bend, thankfully no one was going too fast but they're all total d****s there....

thought i'd try lunging on the field before we went back, but that was either flat out or eat .. not good

by the time we got back, COULD have lunged in the grazing field, BUT had run out of time as had promised to be home... 

still, as least she got some exercise and Charlie got more practice at being left on his own!

and they both ended up in very early as i had to go, and my friend wasn't going to be able to come out again as her OH was going out so no one left to childmind....they're a shade TOO young to be left for even 10 minutes...

but, wondering if may be possible to work in their grazing field even with the other one in? might try it and see what happens....

Bummer about the arena. That could get complicated.

As for lungeing in the field? It all depends on how the other horse reacts. My guys usually just stand and watch, but sometimes I have to chase them out of my circle. Fortunately my horses are all good enough on the lunge that I can control exactly where I want them to go to stay out of trouble/interference from the "gallery."
