I consider a round pen, or other enclosure large enough to keep the horse far enough away from it cannot touch me and small enough to where I can control the horse without touching it, to be an absolutely essential tool for very quickly establishing a herd leader connection with the horse.
I don't think it matters what breed of horse you have, lunging correctly works and has benefits whatever the age or discipline of the horse. There is no benefit to chasing them around - that is not lunging, just stirring the horse up and confusing his mind.
