I would like to begin by asking a few thought-provoking questions. First, why do we choose to initiate our education with a horse, whether it is wild or domesticated, in the round pen? Additionally, what makes the round pen such an essential tool in our training process? These important questions were constantly present in my mind when I first started to work with horses. Over the years, I have come to feel that I have discovered some valuable answers to these inquiries, and I firmly believe that I will continue to uncover even more insights as I progress through the years ahead.
