USDF Sport Horse Prospect Development Forum - Lunging - Day 2, Part 2

Willy changes the lunge line around to go in the other direction and we again have the chance to watch a master deal with a fresh youngster. He clearly explains how the horse moves on the lunge line relates to what happens under saddle. They next saddle the horse and Willy talks about how to do this safely.

Willy demonstrates a method of putting the reins over the saddle instead of using side reins.
