Alright, here goes: I’ve been riding horses for about 8/9 yrs now and never trained a horse before. Have a colt (18 months old) and he has no problems when I saddle up or anything. Any tips for more groundwork (lunging) etc? No idea what to do…

Well you seem to have covered the handling if he doesnt object to being saddled and so on! At 18 months hes still a baby so I wouldnt really do much more regards groundwork… lead him around – get him used to following you and turning – even walk him over coloured poles.. but Id hold off doing a whole lot more with him for now.

Hi, my horse is 4 now and I’ve him him since he was 6 months old, I had him cut when he was three.
I never treated him any differently to any other youngster, I broke him and trained him in exactly the same way, I lunged him and long reined him and just took him for walks out. The only thing I was aware of was how close he was to the mares when he was turned out (strip grazing) and tried to keep them at opposite ends of the yard.
I never had any problems and he’s such a little star, he’s up for sale cos I’m a bit too tall for him and I’ll be really sadto see him go.
Hope all goes well for u.
Before you do anything, go to http://www.horseproblems.com.au
It has the advice that you are looking for. Also this site is run by an experienced horseman who breaks in horses for a living. He knows what to do and tells you in plain simple English how to get the best from your horse without you getting killed in the process. Good luck.
I have a 3 yr old stud colt, had the most horrible ground manners when I got him and now no believes me when I tell them he’s a stud, he is so mello and quiet he’s like an old school pony.
Teach him to stay out of ur personal space, unless asked into it.
Yeild his hindquaters, making him cross one hind leg over the other. (If ur standing on the right side, make sure his front feet don’t move, and have his right hind leg cross over his leg hind leg.His front feet won’t just stay still u have to teach him to just move his hind end)
Yeild his forequarters
Lunge him in half circles near the fence, teaching him to be more comfortable in tighter spaces. . .
There are a few more exercises that u can find, on RFD there is a show called Downunder Horsemanship and he shows all of these exercises. . .
