1. Three Revolutions

20m

We begin our round pen training by controlling the speed at which our horse moves when it can stop and stand, when it can turn, and so on. In this simple fashion, through a series of steps taught in a specific order, we begin gaining respect and control.

2. Troubleshooting

10m

Answers to common questions student trainers may have at this point.

3. Getting Your Turns

20m

Teach inside and outside turns to solidify the control you have over your horse on the ground, making it easier to catch and teaching respect for your personal space. More importantly, you'll also be teaching respect to a horse you later plan to ride.

4. Come to Me

24m

This video teaches you to teach your horse to politely move both its hips and shoulders away from you as you approach (something you'll need when you later teach it to lead); you'll also learn to teach the horse to "come to you."
