Lunging horse

Lungeing is a great way to work your horse, particularly on winter nights when time is extra-precious. Fizz Tickridge-Marshall explains how to get started

Way too often I hear people refer to lunging when actually talking about circling. It's a common mistake, but an important one not to make, as there is a huge difference between correct lunging and what I'm going to for simplicity sake call "circling". In effort to clear up some misconceptions I want to clarify the differences between lunging and circling for anyone interested, but I will not be explaining how to teach a horse to do one or the other. This is more or less a "What & Why"

Lunging a horse is a great way to encourage them to use and develop all the right muscles that will improve their way of going when you ride

You can use lunging exercises to build your horse's topline, but there is much more inside this process, especially nutrition.
