EagleView,
Nope wasn't directed at your post. It just seems that a great many people think that lunging is just for 'wearing' a horse out. I figure why waste the time, do something productive while warming them up to work mode. Work on up and down transitions...on slowing the front, and pushing from behind. Polishing up your gaits and transistions, getting real obedience, not exhaustion. I also lunge my 'finished' horses. I figure it's a good way to see where they're at that day, if anyone is off, and it's probably a heck of alot easier for them to warm up without me sitting on them. Having a horse blast around a round pen or on a line until it's too tired to make a fuss doesn't accomplish much. See it all the time out at a barn I work out of a few days a week. OH...and you have to have a stick, and a special halter, and rope and own so and so's complete series on yada yada yada. Well, you get my drift. So, no it really wasn't directed at your post in the least. Sorry if you felt that way, it was not intended. Went back and re-read your post. Seems like we're on the same page on this.
