In the round pen you will learn to drive the horse away from you, control the speed of his feet and the direction of his turns. This is not easy if you are not…
…circle. There are some Q&As on my website that detail my opinion of cantering a horse (unmounted) in a round pen, which is closer to a 20 meter circle. For most young horses and for all un-athletic horses, this is very difficult, even when they are at liberty. A much…
…This is really bothering me. Yesterday I was looking on YouTube for some round pen training ideas. My horses have been off all winter and although they are basically well behaved I need to do more ground work. So I started out in a list of videos about training and…
…be around, doesn’t happen accidentally. It comes from systematic training, consistent reinforcement and high expectations.
Step One—Control Space My first concern, if I am handling an unruly horse from the ground, is always about me and my space. Does the horse have deference for my space? Will he move…
…the round pen for the first time. I’m very specific about what I ask a horse to do in the round pen, so he had to work at understanding what I was asking. Fortunately, he’s smart as a whip and a real thinker. In a few minutes, he was doing…

…positive response from the horse.
Our final two episodes were part one and two of the same story—taking a young horse through the round pen training process. Going way beyond just running the horse around the pen, but going through each step—driving and herding the horse, controlling the speed,…
…Leslie walking away from the round pen as Susan gently placed the blanket over Digg’s face to keep the sun off him as he lay prostrate in the middle of the pen. It’s not what you’re thinking, although some guys may disagree. As Leslie said, it’s probably the best day…

When asked what kind of handling a trainer hoped a “colt” would have before coming for training under saddle, we all four agreed that no handling at all was preferred over poor handling or over-handling. This really…

…that concern, it probably will not happen.
The problem with starting horses too young is two fold. First, there is physical immaturity and methods such as round penning and longeing are way too physically stressful for his immature muscular-skeletal system. The second problem is mental immaturity (short attention…
…To improve him, I would work on conditioning him in a round pen, at liberty, in a bitting device that encourages self-carriage. The type of bitting device I use is called an ‘elbow pull,’ or the Goodnight Bitting System. In time (months), with better conditioning, be can improve his self-carriage…

Annie, my cute, fat little mare (14.0 hands and round as a barrel) has become my go-to horse, now that Dually is retired. She’s pretty reliable when we need her, but she can be a bit of a silly at times—busy-bodied about the other horses…

Question: Ms. Goodnight, I recently read your article regarding fear of horses. I have a unique problem related to fear and hope you can help. I was in the round pen and I was thrown off and I broke a few ribs. I didn’t

Once they have accepted the individual (horse or human) as leader, they will be relaxed, compliant, obedient and happy.

…the horses. That took about an hour and a half all three mornings.

Incidentally, I do not like to canter young horses in the round pen or on the longe line (mounted or unmounted), because they do not have sufficient balance to maintain a proper canter stride in that small a circle, and they invariably cross-canter….

Often mules are cussed as being “stubborn,” when in fact, this is simply a matter of their natural behavior. They are more likely than horses to stop and think, or even turn…

This episode is a continuation of the previous episode, “Control of Life,” and the story of an owner and her struggle to gain the respect of the rescue horse she opened her home to—an older, dominant Morgan named Chief. Goodnight shows his mild-mannered owner important round pen techniques and how…
…next basic rule of behavior I will work on is keeping her nose in front of her chest at all times when I am working around her on the ground or riding her. Again, to achieve this you only need consistent and gentle correction. Every time the nose moves away…

In natural horsemanship, we use ground work (round pen and lead-line) to control the horse’s space so that he becomes subordinate. Beyond just controlling his space, we learn to communicate with the horse…
…yourself a scaredy cat.
When your horse takes off her herd behavior is over-riding her training and her flight response is triggered. The solution is more training. You’ll need to do a lot of ground work—both round pen and lead line work. Once your horse is totally focused on…
