Spiral fractures are a good reason not to lunge a young horse.  However, 
FREE lunging is another matter.  Although I haven't lunged a horse in 
probably 15 years, I have free lunged frequently as a tool in my "you don't 
want to do what I ask - ok, puppy, move out till I say you can stop" box.

I agree that 2-3 miles is not a stress on a 6 month old.
