"Hi, I'm Kelli and this is Covey and on behalf of Expert Village, we are going to show you my options and techniques on how to free lunge your horse. So I'm ready to turn around and go the other way so what we are going to ask her to whoa. I'm going to switch my whip to the opposite hand, going to get a little bit in front her, cluck to her, kind of swing the whip at her. Get her to turn around and go the other way. Ideally you want them to turn into the wall. You don't want them to come in turn towards you. When you are lunging a horse in this type of situation in a free lunging type of situation, they are trained to stay away from the whip so that is why you get in front of them. Whoa. Wave the whip at them and have them turn around and go the other way. Get in front of them, wave your whip a little bit. We would turn around and go the other way. Get in front of them, you don't even have to have them stop you can just get in front of them. You might want her to go and in a loop and I want her to stop and go the other way.
