Round Pen

We have an arena we use for most of our schooling, but we also have a round pen. We find it very useful for youngsters and spooky horses. When working with a horse that has been abused, it is very difficult and can be dangerous to use a lunge line or other restraint. The horse learns voice commands faster, I believe, when we use our round pen. We use a 60 ft round pen. It is large enough to stay clear of a bucking horse and small enough, that they can't 'run off'. This is a great training tool if you know how to use one. Ours has held up well over the years and is quite sturdy. We have also used it as a temporary turn out.

A great space to help train a horse and earn respect for one another. A must
