Ok, so I taught my mini mare Angel in about two days how to lunge on the line w/t/c whoa, and free lunge w/t/c whoa, and turns.
But, my coming two year old Diva, won't lunge. no matter how I try to approach the situation... It's quite frustrating. I taught her half sister so easily, I swear this attitude is from her mother's side of the family! She is quite a bit more fearful than Angel, so she freezes up when I ask her to walk, and absolutely won't move, and if she does, it's a few rigid steps, but I still reward her for it. I stay behind her the whole time, so I'm not bocking her path at all...
I'm just wondering if there is anything to get this girl to lunge, because I'm tired of walking/trotting her in hand for exercise!
