Description
Work on the lunge is important for the education and training of young horses, as well as the gymnastic development of the older horse. While lungeing can look easy from the outside, this is not necessarily the case; correct lungeing has to be learnt. For instance, the choice of equipment, where the trainer should be in relation to the horse, and the safety aspect for both horse and trainer - all these are vital considerations. This guide is for all horse lovers who want to learn the correct way to lunge a horse. Using clear and easy terms, this guide is an invaluable reference book for anyone wishing to know more and putting this invaluable training technique into practice.
