Obviously, we all know that the Horse has not been handled lots, and she is just moving out of the way so she doesn't get run over. YES the horse needs work, NO she is not inecperianced. I would walk away too if that horse came at me!

This horse is pushy and rude and thus dangerous. The trainer keeps moving away from the pushy horse. Bad example. This video doesn't make a good example for training people how to teach a horse to lunge because this horse needs more basic ground manners before starting to lunge. A prior step before teaching a horse to lunge would seem to be teaching a horse some more basic respect for human space, ground manners and giving to pressure. Someone is going to get hurt imitating this video.

Don't let the horse push you around thats a big no no cuz then they are gonna think they can do it all the time you have to show then who the boss is! You act like your kinda scared of him.

i cant wait until she rides him lol

i lost count of how many times that horse just threatened her to bite and kick and btw just be an outright ass. This horse needs lunging for respect before you attempt this kind of lunging. He obviously has no respect for this girl.

"Good boy, good boy". Is this a joke? You are a "self proclaimed horseman" that is going to get somebody hurt that doesn't know any better and is watching your videos thinking that you are actually an expert. STOP LYING TO PEOPLE, YOU ARE GONNA GET THEM HURT. That horse needs to be taught respect before he learns anything else (or doesn't your training method feature a "You WILL respect me" lesson?)

Why do they make these video's when they know the people don't know what there talking about? Honestly, These video's are not helping us there giving us way's to kill ourselves.

Sorry, but I wouldn't even THINK of teaching this horse how to lunge yet. He first needs manners taught to him. He pretty much is teaching her how to move HER feet. This is an accident waiting to happen.

so this is what it looks like to not do Parelli??

she looks intimidated by the horse, I WOULD TOO!! That horse is testing her, cause she is not being a leader, lady leave it to Parelli, or train "motorcycles" with out feelings!! sheesh!!
