Thank you for your Response! 40ft is 12m. Thats what i had in mind. I dont need to lope that much, as the trot is the "scooling" gate in my opinion. What they cant do at trot they wont be able to do it at Canter.

Im really looking forward to train him with your method. I will Stephan back now and start from the beginning to fix some holes. like leading, i made it different the last years but your Explanation makes sense for the further work, because he always turns in and walks up to me and in my space. Its pretty difficult to work on stopping like that f.e.

Stephen Gowling Im just planning on buying panels for roundpen and some other stuff. My actual roundpen is with posts and electric wire. It was good for the last years, but im so done with horses which disrespect the wire and just run home 🙄

As i have a riding Arena about 30m x 70m and another place with 40 m x 40m i have enough space to ride. But for starting the young ones a roundpen is necessary.

But like you said: with the panels theres more flexibility for the size. And thats a great thing imo.

Thank you very much, Stephen!

I would be nervous, too 🤣🤣

Something around 35-40 foot was in my mind when i watched the videos and compared to the length of the rope. 

Because... when i tried it in MY roundpen i got dragged all over the place - and mine ist 50ft 🤣

So i have to addjust it a bit.
