How To Lunge A Horse For The First Time

Показать описание

In this video, I show you how to lunge a horse for the first time. I use Bonnie, a young horse that has come to me for starting under saddle, and I show you the exercises she needs to know so that I can get her to go out on the circle and slow down on the lunge. If you have a horse that won't lunge, this video will show you how to help the horse understand what you want him to do. Learning these groundwork exercises should be part of your basic horse training.
In this video, you see Bonnie lunge for the first time, and I can say it was a success. It was a success because of the basic groundwork exercises I had done with her to set her up for success. I teach you how to do these exercises and many more in Basic Horse Training Academy.

Getting the horse to move out on the lunge is simple if you teach them to move their shoulder. This mare does a great job for her first try.

I heard the classical folks have them stop on the circle so the turn doesn’t unseat the person during rider training. I am with you. 😊

I love you technique you’re not aggressive the whip And you calm and gentle

Thank you for this video. I am training my horse on my own and she wouldn’t go out. This video showing moving the shoulders out first worked a treat thank you. I am a dressage rider BHS UK trained and it’s the first time I have seen this tecnique. Thank you! 2:20 2:22

Great video! I am struggling so much with a 21 year old brood mare that I have adopted. I am unsure of her previous history. She was neglected and not handled much. She is dominant and pushy. I am convinced that in her mind, that is how she thinks she survives the day. I am trying to reward the slightest try. Struggling to find a horse trainer to help in my area, so I am doing the best I can. You are so kind and gentle in all your videos, and I so appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. Thank you so much!

Omg this seems so simple 😅 Love your videos and the simplicity of explaining everything.
Also, I’d love to see this on a horse that never lunged too. So we can see the issues one may encounter and how to fix 😊

You make this look so easy! I tried to lunge this 22 yo ex trail horse who's been wasting in a pasture for 3-4 years. I've got weight back on him in the past month and we've very briefly barbacked 3x. Today I tried to get him walking the circle and he just looks at me like what is this bro haha. He's very lazy and doesn't want to keep walking forward which is my ultimate goal. Thought lunging may at least build some trust with eachother outside of just leading him around my pasture. I'll meed to watch this a few times and see if I can get him to respond. I'm at least trying to get him.some exercise

Also, what a lovely and willing mare she is. Quite relaxed. Good job Josie.
I notice how supple and low headed horses are when you ride them which you've, obviously taught them to do. I would love to see my mare working on the walk or trot nice and 'low' either on the lunge and or under saddle. I'm also going to ask my friend for a ride on her trained horse so I can experience a balanced canter to give me more confidence when riding my green standardbred in the canter as she has a tendency to pace sometimes! You see I'm listening and learning Josie!😊

That was great, you made it look awful easy though 😅. I’m going to have a try.

Thank you for this tip. As a beginner rider, I was really struggling with this even after my instructor demonstrated it. After watching your video, I get it!

Thank you, I hope it works for me and the horse

Lol that first part was me exactly. Your technique helped me tremendously!

@Basic Horse Training, Josie, I like the way you teach with not overloading me/us with too much info over too long a videos.
Where in Australia are you? I would love to have some lessons with you.
