About this deal

A session on the lunge should be similar to a riding session, so start by allowing your horse to stretch down in walk and trot before working them in trot and canter. A bungee is an elasticated cord that runs over the top of your horse’s head, through the bit and clips to the girth between his front legs. And by educating the horse on the cavesson first, it will react more attentively on the effects of the bit once the cavesson is taken away. But so is a normal halter, when it’s used with too much, too long, too often, sudden, steady pressure! Don’t just go blindly following my opinions without considering the circumstances surrounding you and your horse. Every horse and rider pair is different, and not every training method is right for every single horse or rider out there. Any trainer who tells you that their method works 100% of the time for every horse and rider on the face of the planet is an idiot and should be ignored. What is right for me may not be right for you.

The halter places pressure underneath the jaw. This causes your horse to actually lose its balance, causing him to move his head outwards. You now have a crooked horse with all of his weight on the inside shoulder. The inside shoulder leaning in makes his head turn away, cutting off your communication. Using a halter on the lunging circle is not good for the functioning or for effective communication. Lunging should be done on a non-slip surface that’s as flat as possible. Lunging can be quite wearing on a horse’s joints, so avoid hard surfaces such as baked ground (this means avoiding your field in the hot summer months). Unless your horse is well behaved, opt for a smaller area to lunge in, as you may find you don’t have enough control. A round pen or an area with a sand, rubber or carpet-fibre surface is perfect. your horse’s face should be vertical when the side reins are under normal tension (not straining or baggy)

Take care, the noseband should not be too tight, but nevertheless tight enough so it does not slide over the nose during the training.

Lungeing is a great form of exercise for your horse. Plus, 20 minutes of good work on the lunge is the equivalent of an hour’s riding, so mastering this skill is a real asset, especially when time is at a premium. Type of bridle: The lunge is attached to the lunge cavesson, slip bridle with bit can be worn for accustoming. Depending on the instructor, the continuation of this foundation may vary. In the Viennese Riding School, for example, the lunge is still hooked into the cavesson during further lunge training, and in addition, the side reins are strapped into the bit. Goals of lunging: Gymnastics and exercise. The horse should lean against the auxiliary reins and find a support there. The gymnastic value can be strengthened by pole- and cavaletti work. It’s important to be sure that the cavesson is adjusted correctly so that the horse can gain the full and precise benefit. This means it needs to be fitted so that it doesn’t turn, twist, or come near the horse’s eye.

If you have a new horse or are just unsure which size rug your horse needs it is useful to take certain measurements of your horse. If you are using long reining as an addition to your ridden work, you can do it for the same time you spend riding,” says Brendan. “If you are doing it correctly, long reining can be as beneficial as ridden work. Having a rein behind your horse can collect the hindleg and get them stepping through more, giving you a better quality of work.”
