Worked with Bubbles on Longe Line

I spent time yesterday working with Bubbles on the lunge line. We like to keep all the horses fresh and responsive to their roles as mounts when we give lessons. Bubbles never forgets to properly respond to queues given. After longeing, a 50 pound sack was tied to his saddle (to emulate, as closely as possible, a child riding him) and I worked on queues given to him while leading him around for lessons. His responses are so positive that within 45 minutes of starting, he was finished...free to go roll in the arena and have some quiet time to himself. He is so easy to work with, it's like a dream.
