No he is not playing. He is obviously in discomfort. I don't let him just stop. I tell him when he can stop. I have lunged him without the stirrups on as I posted before.

I try to lunge him with the saddle on and he starts bucking and running then stops and walks towards me. I get on him and he is fine. Then I take the saddle off of him and lunge him. he lunges perfect without it. I thought maybe he didn't like the saddle on while I lunge him. I put on a heavy duty bareback pad then I also tried a surcingle and he was fine lunging with those. I have narrowed this all down to saddle fit issues. Do you agree? Please email me privately so as not to annoy ridecamp any further with my issues.
