TEACHING ARI TO LUNGE ~ Breaking in and training my homebred horse (Part 1)

Hello all and welcome back to the channel!! So this is a bit of a throwback video, but I really wanted to have as much of Ari's breaking process documented as possible... So here we have it, teaching Ari to lunge for the very first time.
As I mention in the video, I would like to stress that this is not a 'How to teach a horse to lunge' video. This is simply what I am doing with this particular horse at this time. I would urge everyone to seek professional advice if you don't have experience working with young or green horses.
I hope you like this style of video but as always, if there is anything I've missed that you would like to see do let me know. I will try and get the long lining video out soon so I can start filming the next steps.
Hope you enjoy X

can we appreciate the fact he picked up canter on the wrong lead and he changed it to the right lead

[@lilyhey6414]

Ikkkkkk so adorable

[@Elessarion30]

I can just imagine Ari going back to the two fillies & Ace going "You will NOT believe what these crazy humans are doing to me!" and Ace just being like ".....try me."

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Haha Ace has seen it all before 😂

[@sephyarcher5370]

Love it how Ari doesn’t mind cameras, bridles and rollers but when he sees a cat he’s seen probably hundreds of times he thinks it’s worth a spook🤣

[@darceygreer7354]

As I say every video THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL ON THE INTERNET AND NO ONE WILL TELL ME OTHERSWISEE! 💕

[@izzy1263]

[@willow858]

I ain’t gonna tell you anything else 😌✨

[@isabelle182]

I AGREE

[@joannabram-wawrzkiewicz7152]

Is it just me or is every pony that Meg breeds so far is soooo beautiful, strong and talented ? I watched the vid where Meg was talking about Bear's future and seriously Meg , dont worry about what Foal Bear gives birth to. I am more than sure that it will be a beautiful, strong, amazing,talented and special pony. Like all your other ponies. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joannabram-wawrzkiewicz7152]

Just like Dora,Bruno,Winnie,Ari. I am sure ❤️❤️

[@florajenkins3616]

I love meg and her horses so so much she has definitely been a part of keeping me going through lockdown. Ari is soooooo cute I'm in love with him 🥰

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Awh thanks so much! ❤️

[@jorjascorer]

Am I the only one that watches all the ads, all the way through no matter how long they are so Meg earns more? 🙈

[@ailbhewalsh5066]

Omg I never knew that

[@darceygreer7354]

I do that too 🤣💕

[@equestrianashes6564]

You only have to watch 30seconds of the ad for meg to make da cha Ching......

[@cakesandsprinklesbylauren8796]

Same!

[@joannabram-wawrzkiewicz7152]

Nope , u are not the only one !! 🤣.Meg , i will do the best I can to help you earn more 👍😊. But just promise me one thing. At least 25% of the money goes to the ponies 😅😆. Love ya vids❤️❤️❤️

[@yeshello5384]

ari is honestly so cute. i can't wait until you start going out to events again 🥺

[@estagurl9855]

Don’t they grow up fast! Love seeing Ari content (but then I like all megs content 😂) can’t wait to watch!!! :)

[@charlottewelsh9109]

When you turn out a grey ace and bring in a brown ace joys of owning Greys I guess haha Also ily and this is my fav part of my day I'm so excited for Ari's journey and breaking in

[@supersophiegamez9754]

Isn't Ari such a good boy? He picked up on the wrong canter lead and he changed it onto the right lead! Now that's a really sweet pony!

[@kateoreo7279]

Your channel cheers me up when I have a bad day

[@cakesandsprinklesbylauren8796]

Same!

[@aleciamcnaught195]

I can't wait till we see Ari's makeover!!! He is such a handsome boy!! Hopefully Meg is kind with the scissors haha!

[@billieeilishlover5871]

I love the relationship between Meg and all her horses

[@syzygyfarm]

Congrats on 60k (and counting!), Meg! In all honesty, I have no idea what you said during the intro because I was preoccupied watching the grooming. XD Upstaged by your darling ponies! I'm looking forward to Ari's journey. He looks so promising.

[@gem1718]

I love working with babies. It is so rewarding when you see them progress. Cant wait to see Ari ridden, he will be great I'm sure!

[@tristamyers1910]

His tail though!! Such a nice tail!! What a good boy! Hes going to be so much fun. Very clever.

[@Katy.Lou.K]

He’s growing up so smart! Good job Meg, I love seeing his progress, can’t wait to see how Ari does under saddle! Big thanks to G for assisting in his training! Love from California⛰🌲☀️💙

[@andystpierre6086]

Time flies. It’s crazy!!! Ari is ready to be backed, wow!!!!

[@jmleeinla]

Watching Ari go from birth to actual schooling is exhilarating!! To watch his progression from a gangly little homebred baby to a naughty teenager to a “baby pony” in training is a wonderful thing😁 I can not imagine what the future holds or where it will take him, but I’m thankful to be on this adventure with you Meg!

[@Muninn22]

It would be cool to see some long reigning footage from gopro helmet view.

[@according2her]

I'm happy to see I'm not the only idiot trying to voice what I believe a horse is thinking out loud in a high-pitched tone to better understand what's going on in his head :D

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Hahaha it’s the only logical thing to do surely 😂

[@izzy1263]

Ari is very clever, my Dartmoor refuses to lunge. So you have done a fab job with him! ❤️ Your channel is the best and no one will tell me otherwise!

[@Goosy0825]

He looks like such a good pony 🥰

[@myeventinglife4808]

Aww this is so so cute! Ari has been raised so well! And he is a saint!!!! He will be a great eventer!

[@annejarvis7002]

Loved this. Really interesting. Ari is a gorgeous pony🙂 - curious, interested, quick learner together with the necessary "sassiness" - plus a glorious personality (& a beautiful trot). He is going to be a dream pony. You are doing a fab job Meg & what an amazing friend you have as 'co-trainer'🙂.

[@alisonjegat258]

I just love Harry he is such a handsome lad He’s learning very quickly I love you all keep safe and well hugs for all your horses

[@sienna1241]

Hi Meg!! I absolutely adore your channel, I love it so much and you bring me so much joy. Because I haven’t been able to ride from COVID watching your videos bring me great joy. I would love to see more jumping videos, exspecially on Dee and Jam. But I also love watching videos like these. A video I would love to see is a “Meet my horses” video...to show us all your horses. Have a great day!!

[@rikh78]

Is Ari a gelding or a stallion? I love your vids Meg! Keep up the hard work 😊

[@mollyiveson8053]

I love watching your vlogs when i get time, usually when im tired from work and have a spare hour to drink tea and watch pretty pony videos.. the only problem is its waaaaay too motivating for me and now im sulking with myself for not doing more with my own ponies, despite the fact that im only watching these videos when im too tired to do anything else. but no, my brain now wants me to go lunge my two idiot ponies.. Thank you so much for your posts they are genuinely such fun to watch!!

[@kip4]

He is such a good calm horse, he has a bright future ahead of him if you get him going properly
