This video shows how I took a green horse knowing very little and taught it how to accept a rope, lead and to lunge.
Lunging should always be done just to gain respect, never for exercise or to burn off the horse's excess energy. Making a horse run a long time in tight circles puts a lot of lateral stress on its legs and feet's ligaments and tendons. They will suffer a lot of unnecessary pain and not appear to be lame. So lunge for respect, not exercise.
so glad you did this in a pen with other horses,,, free to roam,, and not a small round pen. thought it was neat to see your Arab watching for a while.
