My stallion won't lunge!

Question

I have a 2 year old 15.3 hand TB stallion. He still can't figure out how to lunge. Everytime i put him on a lunge line h**l keep comming into me, if i wave the whip to push him away he runs and then stops and comes back in. He won't stay in a circle, h**l stand still then run for 2 steps then stop and turn around. HE WONT GO IN A CIRCLE! How should i go about teaching him to lunge so he learns commands and learns how to go in a circle. I don't want to ride him just yet until he atleast knows how to lunge.

ALSO, since he is only 2 years old and already 15.3 hh. How tall do you think he could get?

Answer 1

the height question...i'm thinking he may tank out around 16.2, depending on what he looks like...if he's still really leggy.  

as for the lunging...start him out on a long lead rope, not he lunge line.  grab up your dressage whip, and take up your position.  try to stay around his shoulder, as he's dancing around to get to you.  use your whip to push him out.  i use "walk out" with my boys.  

this could take a bit of time, so you will want to make a huge stink and "good boy" everytime he takes one step the way you want.  

if you have someone around who could help you, you could always assume the position it the center of your circle, horse on the lunge, and helper leading the horse, reinforcing what you want.  

Answer 2

If its breeding season he is probably not lunging because he is too busy looking for mares!

Answer 3

If you can't lunge a horse and instead of going to a trainer and asking them to help, you go online to yahoo answers to ask your question you probably shouldn't own a stallion.
