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.
