Why lunging?
You can lunge your horse for various reasons. Lunging allows your horse to stretch its legs and can also help make your horse calmer for riding. Additionally, lunging is a good training method to teach your horse aids through body language. Lunging helps your horse build conditioning without load and provides a nice change from riding. It also gives you the opportunity to observe how your horse moves. Moreover, lunging is a simple way to provide exercise when you have limited time.
Lunging with a single lunge line
Lunging with a single lunge line means working your horse with just one line. You attach this single line to a bit, cavesson, or rope halter.
Lunging with double lunge lines
When lunging with double lunge lines, you use two lines. The double lunge line is an ideal tool to help your horse maintain a good posture. With double lines, you don’t have to make your horse go in circles the whole time; you can also work in straight lines. For lunging with double lines, you need a double lunge line and a lunging saddle or a saddle to run the lines through.
