Obie doesn't get lunged, not before being ridden. Joey, sometimes, bt Obie, never. He's just not a crazy horse. I can normally keep him under control because I know what to expect.

He loves jumping, I'm pretty sure of that. When we head towards a jump, his ears goforward and his step gets springier. Once we get to the jump, he either really wants to go over it or not at all. :\

I'll try the shoulder thing when I ride him, maybe it'll help! :]
