Lunging surcingle for on saddle
My trainer talked about surcingles that would best suit my needs in my lesson last week. She showed me the different types that she has and suggested a surcingle meant to be used ON TOP of the saddle (like in this photo), but I can’t find one anywhere.
I’m trying to get back into the saddle after an L5 S1 disc bulge. The current plan is groundwork and then hop on to cool him out until I’ve healed enough to do more (she has experience dealing with her own disc bulge issues).
I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions/knowledge/experience with anything like this.
We’re working on a variety of ways to work on the ground that’s best for us and gives variety. Last week we worked on getting Dylan used to changing rein using my bit lead and want to work on some long lining too.
I really want to keep things interesting for Dylan and I during this transition and would greatly appreciate any suggestions or even ideas on keeping things interesting for us.
Thank you
Edit: OK, so everybody seems to be misinterpreting this photo
Dylan is a Sport Pony and we ride dressage, though I’ve also been doing some working equitation with him.
We are currently working on relaxing his poll and keeping things interesting for both of us. The side reins are there, but rarely attached to the bit.
I’m searching for the sole purpose of long lining and being able to cool him out under saddle without having to completely change tack and rather just taking a surcingle off the saddle so I can get on.
