I recently started working for a stable that wants me to help train a weanling colt. I have had much previous experience with horses but this is my first true encounter with training a foal. I am supposed to be free lunging this colt in a round pen trotting with as little cantering as possible so as to not overstress his joints. However, as soon as he gets in the round pen he takes off and gallops around. I try using a nonagressive stance and saying easy/whoa but he doesn't seem to mind. Once I am able to get him trotting he will only trot about halfway around the pen before breaking into a canter again. How am I supposed to get this colt to slow down??
