Tips for Lunging or Playing The Circling Game - 7 Year Old With Pony

Get tips on how to lunge a horse or play the circling game. The word "lunge" generally has a negative connotation because people who lunge their horses do so to get their energy out, rather than for play, balance, and relaxation. We posted this video with both the word circling and lunging because people search for both. We generally refer to the style of circling where you walk with the horse and keep your eyes on them to help them find their balance as "lunging" and the style of circling where you give the horse the responsibility for his balance, gait, and direction as "circling." Both are valuable in different situations. I believe people should walk with their horse when they first start circling as it is easier for the horse to learn not to lean in (which is damaging to his body and teaches him bad habits for riding) when you walk with him. Either way, circling is really just a "stick with me game" where if the horse is feeling for you and you are feeling for your horse, your horse can stick to you at any distance, on any pattern.
