Running in circles is bad longeing and definitely not the only form. Good longeing teaches balance, engagement, forward, whatever you can think of, and side reins are not even required to accomplish these things.

I agree with Jean, they really don't seem to need a lot of repetition for the most part. Once they got it, they got it and then they just annoyed if you keep asking, LOL.

A great way for them to let loose, but like you used it, also a wonderful way to teach new concepts like GIVE and FLEX without the pressure of a rider. Pong was doing this crazy yank/pull naughty pony crud with me recently. ONE lunge line sesh in side reins where he pulled on his own dumb self and it was GONE undersaddle. LOL!

My trainers always advised me not to drill too much. For one, their brains don't need a lot of repetition, and for two, their bodies don't either. They usually muscle up pretty quickly. <br /><br />Keep your boy occupied with interesting things to do and he's going to be a wonderful sport horse for you!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-58344125929483896032013-08-15T09:15:13.812-06:002013-08-15T09:15:13.812-06:00Yay!
