Thanks for advice. But, how do I keep lunging momentum going?

Question
HI Bobby

Thanks so much for your great advice regarding my recent question on my horse turning her hindquarters to kick when lunging. I've been trying to rate your response, but can't find the link to rate your answer on ALLEXPERTS. Ooops!
Your answer was very insightful and extremely helpful. I've started lunging my mare and she responds very well, but I still battle to get her to complete more than 1 and a half a circle in the lunging ring. ANy advice on how to keep the momentum going? She yeilds nicely and takes off well, but she stops before I'm ready for her to stop. I've also started working with a more experienced rider, who is 'backing' her for me. He puts her through some pretty hectic workouts and she responds well with little to no kicking or rearing. But, I'm a little worried that when I mount up she will realise that I'm a less experienced rider and try 'naughtyness' with me. Any advice there?
Thanks again for your feedback on previous question - it's already helped a lot with her respect issues.

Hi Talitha,
That's ok if you can't find the link for rating. Just glad I could help.
There are two types of pressure to use on a horse.
(1) Driving pressure
(2) Steady pressure
Driving pressure is more a pulsating pressure towards your horse. Such as if you were to take your training stick, look at horse's hind and move the stick back and forth toward the horse, increasing the power of the movement with each shake. Or if when you swing the stick in a circle towards it's neck, increasing the power of the swing with each swing of the stick. You are steadily increasing the pressure with each movement, thus driving towards the horse. Horses tend to move away from Driving pressure.
Steady pressure is just that. Putting a steady pressure on a horse without increasing the amount of power in the pressure. Horses tend to lean on steady pressure.
To keep the horse moving you must use driving pressure.
Stay behind the drive line (remember the drive line is behind the string that goes around the horse) and swing your stick towards the horses hind, increasing the pressure until the horse moves on. If you get in front of the drive line you will stop or turn the horse.
Once you have an idea of where the drive line is on the horse, you can take the string off and attach it back on the tip of your stick. Now, you will have a greater reach. If the horse stops and you wish it to keep going, spank the ground with the stick and string. If it still doesn't wish to move out, spank harder. If it still won't go, reach out there and spank the horse on the rump with the string. It will not hurt your horse but it will make it move. This is driving pressure. Remember, the purpose of lunging is not to make your horse move in mindless circles, but to make it move it's feet forwards, backwards, left and right. It is the constant change of directions that gets the horse to respect you and pay attention to you.
The horse will realize and respect that it is YOU that tell it when to move, where to move, how fast and when to stop. You will be the leader...not the horse.
This will all relate to the second part of your question.
The more you do this, the more confidence you will have with your horse. Because, you will know that it is YOU who control the horse.
Fear disappears when knowledge enters. Remember that. You are only afraid and non-confident if you don't know how to solve the problem. You have the tools and the knowledge now. Just go out there and step up and take control. You've got a good start. Just carry on and the fear will take care of itself.
Please keep me posted. You're doing great!!!
If you can video some of your lessons that would be a good thing. Send them to me through my email. I would love to see how you are doing.
Please take care and stay safe.
