[QUOTE="J, post: 195123, member: 2167"] I think all horses need to be taught to lunge, but I'm with flayboy on this one. If you have to lunge a horse before you ride, your not just taking the edge off, but you are actually adding to its endurance, causing you to lunge it longer each time. By the time you get to the saddle stage you should have control of the horse (mental control), if not then you need to back up in your training. Although some horses just have to have the buck rode out of them. The last three I have broke never even offered to buck because I put alot of time in on ground work and manners. Now to answer your question I work my horses in a small trap thats just open pasture. Would love to have a good round pen to work in the begining but once you can ride the teaching takes place in the pasture. [/QUOTE]
