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

@adrienneniver5726 Год назад

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. 😊

@mollypup1989 5 месяцев назад

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

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!😊

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 😊

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!

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

@MJFlynnHorsemanship 5 месяцев назад

If I may make a comment... You moved the horses feet away from you correctly at 4:10. BUT, you immediately started stepping backwards until 4:28. At 4:12, you pulled her into you since your lead was too short from your hand to her halter. As a result, she pushed you our of your position. Big no-no. ;) Always keep moving forward and give the horse more lead as soon as you move their feet away from you. Just let it slide thru your hand. That prevents what just happened. Basically, I would skip everything from 4:12 to 4:24. You are controlling HER feet and not the other way around. "Control the feet, control the mind" Good stuff. Nice to see someone teaching PROPER "lunging" with some purpose. So often, it's basically just mindless circles.

@Lee-vv2yu Год назад

my green ottb has some struggles with standing still at the mounting block, i cant get on him without someone else holding him. he throws his head and dances around, do you have any tips?

@A.B_equestrian Год назад

Let me answer this for you, But first some questions “Do you grab the reins while mounting?” This can also be part of the reason why he isn’t staying still. And do you lunge your horse first? Or is it just energetic? If your ottb is energetic then I suggest lunging then see how he is. I can probably help you with your problem if you can give me all the details that your horse does? Edit- also remember that you should give your horse an option if it wants to be ridden or not. (Tip- watch the ears and his body language) if ignorant people get on horses that don’t want to be ridden some green horses may buck.

@Lee-vv2yu Год назад

@@A.B_equestrian I lunge him before all of our rides to let him get his energy out and see how he is that day, and yes I do grab the reins before I get on, its how I was taught edit- He has a lot of anxiety and while riding his focus isnt on me and hes focusing on the other horses in the arena, or the other things going on at the barn. He doesnt not like to ride, but it seems like he hates mounting and the mounting block, Ive tried to come to it with just a halter and stand him there but he did everything he could to get away from it

@kanek0yuki Год назад

Any tips for helping a horse that tends to lunge with his haunches in/shoulders out? I've worked with him on a smaller circle getting the correct bend, but he still has trouble with this in both directions when we expand the circle.

@lilyloveslife2737 9 месяцев назад

@Basic Horse Training, hey Josie, my old stockhorse is so keen to please, (bless him) he thinks I just want him to canter around on the lunge rope. When I want him trot or walk he thinks I want him to stop and come in. Starting from scratch, how can I get him to just walk or do a slow trot? Would it help if a second person was there to walk him around on the circle, with one holding the rein?

@BasicHorseTraining 9 месяцев назад

I teach them ground work first. Moving the HQ and moving the shoulders. That way I can move the shoulders to move them out on the circle and move the HQ out to slow them down. This could be a good video for me to do. ☺️ You could also try making the circle smaller while he is cantering with even pressure on the lunge rein directing him in. Then when the circle gets too small for him the canter and he drops into trot release the pressure on the lunge.

Hello what are the mirrors for

@montikarla 3 месяца назад

Mirrors are usually used to quickly check your position while riding, and to check horse balance when you are riding without a trainer.

@rebeccaparmer2874 Год назад

My horse has not been worked for 6 weeks. Took her out to lunge and all went well until she picked up trot. Then she got excited, tossed her head and bucked and reared. I let her but then just kept starting the lunge exercise over again. Is there something else I should be doing? Thinking she's just a little fresh from not working.

There are so many ways to train a horse. To me as long as you are kind and have the horses best interests at heart it doesn’t matter which one you use.

@rainecarr9892 Год назад

@@BasicHorseTraining that makes perfect sense. Each horse is different and respond differently. Arabians are very personal horses and love that personal relationship. It makes sense why they seem to prefer to turn in when they halt. (And I like it, too!l

@s….marie1637 Год назад

Could definitely be a number of things.. maybe your horse is unbalanced on the right? Horses can also have a preferred side! Or maybe they just need a little more muscle on one side, if yours is an ottb they are usually pretty unbalanced, mine is a fat ottb that hadn't been ridden in four years and she had that problem because she was only ever really raced to the left 😂 but with correct work in some time they'll come good! If it continues to worry you though, please get a vet check! Goodluck!!

@rhonaharker5814 3 месяца назад

Took too long to get to lunging

@conniepaschall4034 Год назад

First and foremost…never lunge in a rope halter. The pain on the facial nerves causes the horse to lift their head and hollow the back. There is no proper poll flexion to the inside, the head tilts or turns away to counter balance. Lost me as soon as I saw the rope halter.

@ljo0605 Год назад

@BasicHorseTraining Год назад

You must be doing it wrong then because none of mine are brain dead or resistant. In fact they are engaged and supple horses.

@angelicarose6195 Год назад

how on earth have you come to that conclusion? I would genuinely really love an explanation on why this sort of training would produce a resistant horse. I have never experienced a horse with gentle corrections and training ever be resistant, but honest and trusting of their handler, switched on and eager. I would have to agree that you must be doing something exponentially wrong if that is the result you are getting.

@barryedwardchadwick8162 Год назад

Because you are reinforcing the horses knowledge that you are a predator,and he is the prey
