How to Get A Horse to Lunge and Stay Out of Your Space

At a Week Day Work Out in Cooma, Michelle used a clients horse to demonstrate how to get to lunge better.
This video will let you see how, over a very short period, you can help your horse become more consistent.
The client was having trouble getting the horse to lunge (he kept falling in)
You may recognise the horse too; it is Jax that Michelle used for videos over the previous winter. This video was shot after he had been sold.

Small circles and a rope halter not healthy for the horse. Sorry

I hate rope halters, which is a very unpopular opinion. I have to use one on the horse I'm training for my own safety with him pulling, and dragging, but I'm really wanting to get him back down to a nylon halter. I feel if they need a rope halter they're learning to react off pressure more rather than body language, and a pain punishment when they don't do the right thing rather than asking for a certain behavior. My least favorite part of this is her using the whip as a whip and not just an extension like at 2:30 and I don't trust that the horse responds to the changes of direction without fear of the whip. Sorry for the long comment, I just liked your comment lol.

We just dont see the control behavior is these horse training videos. We’re told the horse does this or that and the owner is afraid of him, yada yada. But we never see it. All we see is this; a perfectly behaved horse. It makes one very suspicious of the veracity of the author.
