In the Round Pen

The journey begins with Jay outside the round pen and with an unbroken 3-year-old filly inside. Jay explains how the round pen is the ideal venue to communicate, show leadership and form a connection with your horse. Jay demonstrates when and how to first enter the round pen. Then, as Jay starts to establish himself as the "dominant horse of the herd", he begins the steps to cause and control movement. Using a combination of verbal cues and body movement, Jay continues working with the horse to reinforce the movement, change the filly's direction, and control her speed.
