What to Look for in a Roundpen to Train Your Horse
I start every horse’s training in a roundpen following the Roundpenning exercises from the Fundamentals level of the Method. Do you have to? No, of course not.

Unlike other tying methods, if the horse pulls back in cross-ties, he doesn’t ever get a release of pressure, which often causes him to panic and get into a wreck. “As a general rule, I don’t like […]

As a prey animal, their flight or fight instinct – their ability to flee a perceived danger or stay and fight for their lives – has served them well. It can make working around your horse tricky unless you know how to successfully communicate with him […]
