[QUOTE="hayray, post: 795076, member: 3046"] No, the free lunging in the round pen is in part about wearing the horse down useing the physical barrier to help you train. You cannot train the horse effectively if you are not transfering your aids from the ground to the saddle, free lunging does this less effectively if at all then active aids. The big issue is that you don't take the boundry of the rail to the saddle with you, it does not transfer as a training aid unless you are only riding in the round pen. Both items are important in training - 1st exercise, calastetics to get the edge off, this can be done with free lunging but is very inefficient as compared to putting a rein (line) on the horse 2nd - training, i.e., transferring the aids (vocabulary) used in "avoidance conditioning" such as the line to the rein, the whip and voice to the leg. The round pen is useful for roughstock, that is traditionally what bronc busters on cattle outfits used to saddle break a horse in a day for the cowboys. [/QUOTE]
