Ok, I always read about lunging and how it needs to be done right or your just running them in circles so I have some questions that I hope will help me and lots of others.
My reason for lunging is to get the horse working off verbal cues. So, what do you do when they just keep going?? You tell them to whoa and they keep going or stepping to the front of them just gets them to turn around or rush past?? Or to get them to go from a canter to a trot, or walk. What do you do if they ignore you or do not know what you are asking???
I would love to hear how everyone takes a horse that may not know these things or needs a refresher and gets it done.
Thanks!!
