Lunging a horse can be an excellent way to exercise him without the weight of a rider. It can be useful for gaining and maintaining fitness, especially during the winter months when limited daylight can make it a challenge to find time to ride. Most horse owners will find lunging useful at some point in their horse’s lifetime, whether it’s lunging them as a young horse, bringing them back from injury or as part of their regular fitness and training programme.

In addition to basic horse lungeing equipment – a lunge cavesson, lunge line and lunge whip – there are a variety of lunging aids available. When you’re lunging, it’s also important to wear proper yard boots, riding gloves with good grip and a riding hat.
