She was super hot and it made more sense to fight with her on the ground than on her back. We would to like 10 minuteso or less of walk trot transitions and she was a different horse.

The ignorance and stupidity is astounding sometimes. And horses will run like fools in pasture and turnout too -- bucking, kicking, and digging in. I'm not sure there's any evidence that that stuff ruins their joints or legs, though obviously the greater forces that they exert upon their joints at those times do put them at higher risk for breaks and tears.<br /><br />I'm with you on lunging. It's a useful tool that helps my horse get the focus and relaxation he needs to have a productive ride!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834098473974912416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041032819936307510.post-62805801924833296842017-03-04T08:30:07.680-08:002017-03-04T08:30:07.680-08:00I try to avoid letting her go crazy ... it happens...I try to avoid letting her go crazy ... it happens less and less now, LOLarteriolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257564748066704707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041032819936307510.post-56289889103480010972017-03-04T03:29:13.450-08:002017-03-04T03:29:13.450-08:00Don't you just love unsolicited opinions?

I've always wondered why lunging on a 20 metre circle is bad while riding endless 20 metre circles is fine?!Not that logic ever solved anything. <br /><br />Letting a horse run like a fool on a lunge line - bucking, kicking, digging in and taking off- that's what ruins a horse's joints. <br /><br />Careful, thought out ground work on a circe that isn't endless drilling? Nope- it's great for them. <br /><br />It's used by the Spanish Riding School in Vienna so I would take their opinion on it over two random people in the arena.
