Try shortening the lunge line so he doesnt have as much room to buck and rear. my horse would do that everytime i lunged him but i jus shortened it and he tried but he couldnt get very far off the ground!!!!
BEAUTIFUL HORSE! Try shortening the lounge line so where he is only a few yards away from you. Remove the objects. Then slowly about a few laps and he see that he is noticeably comfortable letting out the line only a little at a time.
Everyone here with the "ooo move the chairs and stuff out of the way you're making him scared he doesn't like that!" attitude is making me downright nervous.
Coddling a horse is the worst damn thing you can do. Honestly - scare your horses people. Be loud. Introduce them to all sorts of crazy junk. Tarps, chairs, bags, balls, what have you. It'll build their confidence and make a far more brave, relaxed horse.
@OctoberArabian Thats true, i dont move any thing taht is in my arena while doing work on my horse Razor. He used to have problems but now i can hunt off of him and ride near trains with put him bucking, bolting, rearing and ETC.
everyones telling you to remove the chairs - why? I dont think you should. I think people should lunge their horses with all sorts of junk hanging around. Teaches them to use their brain; they've got 4 feet two eyes and a brain. Avoiding things like that forces them to use that brain, get to thinking. Its also good for desensitizing. People are so reluctant to "scare" thier horses. No wonder so many english riders have such spooky horses. Horses need to learn to deal with things like that...
well what a terrible lunging session even if the horse was a bit fresh it was still awful objects in the arena incorrect lunging technique and the stirrups were down talk about making it worse -.-
@17horselover2000 or they run into it and hurt themselves fair enough if it was a controlled enviroment yeah then chuck stuff in the school to help teach them but not when your horse is ignoring you and your lunging technique is appauling
first off all i would realy take the stirrup up when your not riding, if not it keeps banging in to his side telling him to go faster, and i would remove all the chairs and stuff, not that his scared of them... no way, but becuse hi could get tangeled in it and get hurt... BUT i think you realy did well geting him on track again :D
I've had a self discovery with natural horsemanship. Before you turn your nose up at the idea, its not horse whispering and rubbish like that its working with the horses mind. Looking into a "game" called Circling.
Great job getting him back on track, I used to lease a horse that was wayy worse then that lunging, it's hard work to fix past mistakes from past owners :)
i think u should move the chairs cuz it seems like he doesnt like them... but i think u did a great time controling him... keep up the good work.... :)
That great that got him under control also that your dad is nearby. Please always be greatful for the things he does for you and the horse. I help mydaughter with one and it seems that she has forgoten waht it took to keep him. Good luck with horse.
@Raineycolt Thank you for the comment, and I will be sure to show my appreciation to my dad, he has been very helpful to me all of the years I've worked with horses and he deserves at least that much
@Raineycolt Actually he is very respectful to me on the ground, he is alert to my every movement and moves away from the slightest pressure. He also follows me anywhere even without a lead line. This problem was just something he thought he could get away with for a while, since he was very new to the lunge line, but now he is a perfect angel. He was just green and testy, and if you've ever worked with a green horse you will know what I mean.
I dont have a round pen and just have to lunge my horses in the paddock. Its a split paddock, but my youngest would do the same thing and try to take over and drag you no matter what, so I learned that if I made him work through it, he stopped. You just keep him going by waving the lunge whip behind him and if that doesnt work, would snap it behind him (never hit him with it). He no longer does it and I can free lunge him in the paddock with no problems. He keeps a nice circle around me.
@Hickishway I was persistent with him and just got him going again every time he did that, like I'm sure you did with your horse, and now he is perfect on the lunge line, listens to voice commands, body language, and he is very respectful. For people like us who don't have ideal facilities, it is best just to work through it, and the end result is just as good, even though getting there might be a little tough sometimes!
Hello, Kat CC RANCH, comment, always better to lounge a horse in a round pen where there are no obstacles, but seen u had to share , I noticed you were trying to subdue him , with a horse like this we never lounge until they have run out in pen without lounge line Great job IN STICKING WITH HIM , want to play first , letting them like what they’re doing first then to work lol , I have 45 yrs and still don't know it all about horses bUT HAVE TRAINED MANY
You are SO right! When I was riding next to my friend, retared people were playing with chairs (putting them in the air) and our horses spooked and both of our horses started RUNNING nonstop! And both of us fell off badly. I broke or pulled something in my lower back. We both still ride the same horses.
OMG! like, you move around with him and his line ends up leading him right to the chairs! Thats NOT a hyper horse, look at him when he almost runs into that pile of crap, a hyper horse will also kick out there legs, like a foal, wow, good hes better, i bet you finally picked up the chairs huh??? lazy.....
@kellymariecritchley I don't willingly move with him. He weighs about 800 lbs, its pretty difficult to resist him completely.
It probably would have been a good idea to move the chairs. However, the trainer who was using the arena after me wanted to use them to make jumps in her lesson, so I left them there. A horse can see. They aren't stupid animals, like some people think. He knew the chairs were there, and he didn't run into them.
He definitely needs to know his place lol XD But I would definitely do what most people are saying about moving the chairs and the cone, just for both of your safety, for all you know he can drag that little body of yours all the way accrossed the arena, I have had these problems to with my horse XD my horse doesn't rear he is just a big spaz and runs and trips :P And my mare she likes to rear/leap and buck ;D fun horses, eh?
With this horse all I did was wait it out with resistance. I didn't pull on the lunge line, but I resisted when he tried to pull. Then I sent him back out and let him run, and eventually he found it was much easier just to walk, trot, and canter calmly on the line. He lunges beautifully now. Hope this helps! It's different for every horse
heyy just to let you know you should never canter a horse whrn lunging.. the reason for this is what it shows in your video that you have no control what so ever and also it puts way too much strain on there hind quaters, also no-matter what you say the more people that see this video will say the same its dangerous ... i have lunged lots of horses that were supposed to be perfect but have still had them run off or pull away as yours is doing here... take my advise dont canter on lunge !
Geez people: If the horse is going to be scared of chairs, how would you expect him to react to a jumping arena? If you take him on a trail ride, aren't there branches, logs, rocks, dogs, etc? The point is to get the horse to ignore the distractions and listen to the rider.
wow. just wow. i can't believe you even would let your horse around that kind of trash. the chairs for one are scaring him and two he would break a leg get tangled and seriously hurt himself. When lunging your supposed to work with the horse. not have him running all in crazy circles trying to get away from you.
He wasn't scared, just hyper. And he wasn't afraid of the chairs at all. I know this horse, if he was scared of them he wouldn't go near them. I also knew he wasn't in danger, and I'd never put him in a situation where he would be.
What would you have done if your horse had stuck it's leg through those chairs? Regardless if it's your arena or not, you could move the chairs to the other end of the arena so that it's completely out of your way.
He didn't get his leg stuck in the chair--he didn't even come close. I know this horse a lot better than you do, and I know he wasn't in any kind of danger.
Here is a fantastic idea that will completely revolutionize your training with your horse: don't lunge him in an arena that has rubbish in it. No wonder he reared and spooked out, I would too if I was being cantered towards ground covered in wooden boards and other injury-causing junk!
I also think you should make sure he is slowed and listening to you before bringing him up to a faster speed, he wasnt listening to you, he was just running around, move the objects incase he does shy, you dont want him to hurt himself, my half arab spooks and runs away with me, Ive been putting a chain under his chin and hes been an angel lunging because i yank on the chain and he cuts out what hes doing ..take a dog chain or soemthing and put it under his chin or over his nose
...Yea...but I think you should also realize that this was a year ago. And I also mentioned in my description that he stopped doing that after he figured out it wasn't getting him anywhere. I didn't use a chain...I didn't want to hurt him.
Think about getting the junk out of the way (the chair, cones etc.) Bring the horse in closer to you, slow him down, get his attention. Trot him, when he speeds up stop him and make him stand still and settle down, then trot him again. Keep doing this until he trots calmly without pulling on you. Then let him out further and start the process over. Then start the process over with a lope. First stopping him when he gets excited then trotting him. Keep him calm, keep his attention Take your time
I'll be taking your advice... A lunging session with my four year old TB gelding ended in 2 broken fingers for me 6 weeks ago... the fingers are healed and we're ready to start over again...
Great job on getting him back to lunge, correct me if im wrong but it looks to me like hes having trouble rounding himself like he should be. But i might be wrong so other wise great job.
It does a little, but he actually wasn't, he just learned the habit a while ago and it was a hard one to break since he used to get away with it. He doesn't do this much anymore though. Thanks for the comment :)
wow you handled that really well! great job! ther's a horse at my barn named taho and he's kind of mean but he's fun i've never actually RIDDEN him but i've been bucked off him b4!
yea its really hard to hold them wen they do that, i think the only reason he didn't drag me across the arena was because he has a moderately strong bit and is pretty sensitive in his mouth
I don't think it's the chairs he's worries about, I just think he's a little frisky.

you controlled him great and having the chair there isn't bad, he has (or had) to get used to things like that. Good Job!

That ok alot of people do not. Remove the chairs. Maybe work on who and walk
Click for walk and cluck for loop. Be real careful of the whip. He seems afraid of it
just use the end of the lung rope. I would like to see how you just walk him at halter.
I would say there is a element of no respect on you are a little afraid. If you have it you might want to seek out help for a trainer.
