You can lunge them. Lunging is when you attach a long rope, called a lunge line, and the horse walks, trots, canters and does small jumps in a circle.

You can put them on a horse walker, which is when you tie them to a metal thing an it goes round and round.

You can free lunge, which is lunging without the lunge line. It is usually done in a round pen.

    Try lunging both ways until they begin to sweat and/or breathe heavily. If that's not the thing for you, showmanship is also a quick way to get a bit of energy out-just beware when trotting around with them! Also, letting them run loose through a run, paddock, or arena with obstacles around will also do the trick. Hope this helps :)
