He's not as comfortable with the whip as you imagine. Look at the difference in his headset, general body shifting, and chewing movements at 1:30 on the video compared to 2:00. An upright, stiff neck, lack of chewing and rigid body posture will cue you that they are on red alert. Just b/c they aren't bolting and bucking does not mean they "aren't bothered by this at all." Always watch the horse rather than the camera so you can look for their responses.

actually it does the same thing as a longe line without having to deal with the line. a longe line is quite pointless however unless you dont have a round pin.
very nice, u and ur horse have a terific bond, he listens and obeys, unlike my horse, who'd kill me if i did that, but i have lounged her b4, but not free lounging, i should try that, and recomendations b4 i start?
I'd start with some lateral longing. The closer you are to the horse, the more control you'll have over their gaits and their attitude! Then, as you progress, work on a longer line. Toby's just a big moosh. Very easy to work with and he's also my big pet!
lol! my horse is just stubborn, nut, and a buthead. she doesnt think that much... she folos me around and plays with me, and wen she gets bored, she'll pick me up or do something odd, i have never gotten kicked by her, but i have by a saddlebred named parker, in the hip... it hurt!

Yes, Charlotte Church is the artist here. It's an old song called "All the Pretty Horses."
