Oh, and Buddy lunges! I took my homemade flag out (a square of white plastic garbage bag attached to the end of a white carriage whip, which I call my "parsnip stick"
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
, and as soon as I pointed it at his shoulder, he went out and circled around me - then I was able to get it just with the loops of the lungeline. He is freaking ADORABLE. And sooo fat. So we mostly walked, just a little trot. Rico has a cow when I take him out of the barn, I have to do everything where he can see us (which is easy, buddy is so tiny, the barnyard is the perfect size for working him). Funny thing is, when I take Rico out, he'll totally go out of Buddy's sight, especially when there is hand grazing involved. Which means I should have no trouble getting him over to the arena on his own. (He's pretty herd bound, and is not a horse that is easy to get out on the trails by himself)
