Yeh brushing boots all round and over reach boots, for protection

You would get a fail mark in your BHS Stage II if you didn't say you would put brushing boots on all round for protection whilst lungeing.

I was always taught to lunge in boots and have never not done it, it would feel like a sin

I lunge in the same boots I put on for flatwork, tendon boots infront and bandages behind. If she stumbled or something and you are working them very forward on the lunge, or on a smallish circle, I dont like the thought of them having no tendon protection!!

Always overreach boots and brushing/ tendon boots or bandages infront, if shod behind boots or bandages behind but if not shod behind then would usually leave them off

Thanks everyone for your replies.

My horse is pretty straightforward and rarely gets excited, unless it involves his feed! However, I think I will start to use OR's and get hold of some brushing boots or tendon boots for lunging. I don't school with any boots on. I guess really I should?

What's better leg wraps or brushing boots?
