When you first buy a horse should you let it get used to its new home before riding it?
, I have owned horses for over 18 years. When I first purchase a new horse, and bring him to his new home I would let him/her get adjusted to their new surroundings for a day or two. Remember you have to get acquainted with your new horse also. When I moved my first horse to a different barn, I had owned him for over 8 years and knew him well, I put on his saddle and took him on a tour of his new home. It all depends on the horse, and your riding skills. Enjoy !!

When can you start to lunge your horse?
You need a lunge lead, connect this to the horses halter and walk your horse into a lunge ring. You need a whip. Give your horse a gentle whip to make it start walking then keep it going round, give commands to trot, if it does not trot, whip it again then make it go the other way. Then give command for canter etc; you need to stand at least 20 feet away from the horse and make sure that you only lunge your horse for around 20 minutes to 30 minutes otherwise it tires them out for riding. If your horse is flighty lunge it before riding. Lunging is used to make horses quiten and make them get out energy before riding purpopses. Remember it is always a good idea to put boots on a horse when lunging becasue they are more likely to have a brushing injury. Stay in the center of the ring while the horse runs in circle around the fence. You need a lunge line and a gentle whip. You attach the lunge line to the horse's halter or bridle and gradually give them more distance between you and them. I would start out with a trot, then canter, then trot, then a cool-off walk. Each one should take from 25-30 minutes.
