Make sure that you always have a lunge whip. that way if the horse stops give him a tap and he should go . Try and make sure there is no other horses around.If your horse gets spooked then dont let it get away with running off keep a tight grip of the lunge line.

Why should you not lunge a horse for any longer than 35 min's?
I don't see any reason to not lunge a horse for any longer than 35 minutes. When I was breaking in my horse (training her), we'd spend over two hours on a lunge line. The only thing I can see wrong with that would be to lunge a horse at a full gallop or canter for a while. It would tire the horse out and could do serious damage if he or she were to overheat from extended periods of work.

How do you lunge a horse over poles?
Assuming you have already lunged your horse without poles and they are comfortable with it, you simply add the poles on the ground and lunge as you normally would. The horse will naturally try to avoid stepping on the poles. You can vary the distance between the poles to get your horse to lengthen or shorten his or her strides. Start easy and at a walk until the horse gets the hang of it. This may take many days. Very gradually work up to a trot or canter and more difficult distances and patterns. Lunging is a real workout for the horse so don't try to do too much too quickly.

What is used to guide a horse?

What would you use to train your horse with out having to mount it?
Well non-mounted training is called ground work. I'd use a lunging kit ( Surcingle, cavesson, lunge line, and lunge whip) To work it in a frame, then free lunge in a round pen for bonding exercises. Also long lining the horse would be good. Bomb proofing is fun from the ground and trail courses too. Also don't forget that you can pony the non-ridden horse from the back of another more experianced horse.
