That's what I meant about the longe. I have read enough of yalls posts to know punishment/discipline needs to be immediate. I just didn't know what to do with her. Pulling up her head wasn't effective.
Longing 30 minutes afterwards might have worked if I had been using it for control. I was slipping in mus all over the place and upset and just making her run. It wasn't an exercise so it seemed best for me to stop since I had already decided to kill her:')
Once you come off a bucking horse, it would be hard to discipline them for that without getting back on. And I don't think you needed to do that in this case.
The lunging in this incident was not punishment for that bucking. But you just should not let them buck when lunging. Once they catch on that bucking is unacceptable while lunging, they will not be as inclined to buck when you ride. You did say she was kicking up while you were lunging right? Is there some way to make her stop immediately from doing that when you free lunge???
