Exercises for a lame horse?

My 5 year old quarter horse blew out an abscess months ago, and now the gash has grown out to the tender part of his foot, causing him to limp. Before we get corrective shoes put on him, what other ways can I work with him other than riding/lunging? Those are what make his hoof hurt and in turn makes him really cranky. I practice showmanship a lot, even though the show season is winding down. We're just mostly working on the little things, though. I still want to spend a lot of time with my horse so what other things could I do with him that would give him a light workout and keep his brain intact?
Thanks so much! =)
