"Round Pen First Steps," a Downloadable
Book
by John Lyons Certified Trainer Keith Hosman
Learn how
to round pen your horse with this easy, step-by-step
guide to the proven techniques of John Lyons.
- Download
and print from home in minutes
- Work at your own pace
- Presented in five chapters/five days
Excerpt from
Day 1: "If you've got a green horse, one
that you're prepping to ride, then round penning
is an absolute must. If you don't have one, bear
in mind that most, if not all, of the exercises
covered here can be done with you attached to
the horse via lunge line - but it's far simpler
to make use of a pen. Spending one week or even
one day in a round pen will jump your training
forward - so much so that if you don't have one,
I'd say it's worth your time to locate one nearby
and make arrangements to trailer to it. The changes
you'll make in your horse's mind are so profound
and so rapid using the round pen, that you'll
find yourself far ahead (later) by doing what
it takes to begin there. You can skip it, sure.
It's been skipped countless times. But consider
this analogy: You're hiking through the woods
and come upon a stream. You can take one hour
to build a bridge using an old tree, vines and
the knife in your pocket - or you can spend six
hours to hike around. Which would you choose?
Same thing with the round pen - you'll get to
a trained horse whether you begin there or skip
it entirely - but a little extra work now puts
you miles ahead later...."

An excerpt
from Day 5: "When we can't see the signal,
we need to arrange a test. See if you can't safely
recreate just a little agitation on your horse's
part by walking it (on foot) till you can discover
what exactly might have spooked it or caused the
mishap. Do a little sleuthing. Hand walk it past
traffic, screaming kids, flashing lights, away
from its buddies (at a safe distance, naturally).
Once you figure out the cause (or one of many
things that could be at the root of a bigger issue
like 'separation anxiety') set that as your goal
and work your way up to it. (Look back to Day
Three.)
And maybe you don't think your horse even sends
a signal - he just gets 'fed up' at some arbitrary
point and begins bucking. Uh, guess what? He sends
signals. The signals get broadcast in the moments,
even days, preceding the buck. If it's a buck
out of disrespect the signal could have been the
horse freezing up, ignoring your cue to slow down
or kicking the stall when you didn't move fast
enough with the grain. Is it bucking caused by
fear? Maybe the signal was throwing his shoulder
into you as you led it past the scary garbage
cans or a 'near bolt' through the exit when some
kid blew a whistle....."
