I have a three-year-old mare and an 8-year-old mare, and neither of them knows how to lounge. which is becoming a problem since the three-year-old is very disrespectful and pushy and doesn't know personal space. how should I teach them how to lounge?

so should i try teaching off lead in the round pen before on a lead line?

thank you. my issue is really that they don't want to leave my side. they are always turning in and facing me. I'm lucky if I can get them to stick to the rail for even a second.

how shoud i teach them to stick to the rail or the end of the rope?

tinyliny, my mare is very spirited and spooky and VERY strong and sometimes i need to tire her out before i get on her or else i have a hard time just staying on her. and the other problem is she doest respect my space and people and trainers have told me to try lounging.
