Well, this weekend is gonna be D-Day. I'll be getting back on Pistol's back after a good 4 or 5 week vacation from riding due to his bad rainrot all over his spine. Now that it's just about gone I have to piss him off and ride him all over again. The first time I rode him he took off at top speed for a good 45 minutes or so. I'll have you know I only fell off once too, and that was after he ran off with me for maybe like 2 minutes. After that I learned how to hang on great.
Any pointers on how to prepare him for this? Should I lunge him with tack or anything as a warning, or will that make him worse? Should I just hop on or let him putz around? Should I let him eat first or no? Any advice is GREATLY appreciated
