Lunging up and coming..

 For ground work, you can 
>lunge him
>or take him for walks.  Hey, you'll get exercise too.  Good luck.


Lunging and roundpen work put torque on those joints.  Be careful.  Had a
friend who started an unbroken 5 year old year before last.  The fellow
who'd raised him was roundpen happy.  She did 4 50's on him and started
having lameness problems.  The vet diagnosed arthritis.  She recently
gave the horse away due to arthritic problems in a front fetlock...I
wouldn't be surprised if his extensive time in the roundpen didn't
contribute.
