[Footlights]

There are so many different aids that can be used when lunging. What's your favourite gadget to use? Or do you just opt for a headcollar and lunge line?

side reins, lunge cavesson and roller for me - not hugely keen on any other 'gadgets'...

Draw reins

I don't use any - i don't actually have any, but if I did, it would probably be a roller and side reins. I just lunge either in bridle and saddle or bridle on its own / bridle with a cavesson on top

No need for gadgets with stupid names. Pessoa's are *********g awful.

It totally depends on the horse and what I am trying to achieve .

 

[Sleipnir]

A lunge line or 2 long reins. On rare and specific occasions - chambon, but that's the only lunging aid I ever use.

Wels cavesson, nothing else; don't even use a whip (my mare is whip shy).

Roundpen

^this,
it takes time to build muscles in the right place, assuming you want horse to work in long and low and carry himself, then I can't see why anyone buys in to gadgets, I can spot horses that have been lunged in fixed side reins, I would never use such a thing.
I have used what I would call a running side rein which is one piece of rope that runs from one bit the other through a loop in the roller under the belly, it seemed to work fine, but I only used it after backing and because I did not have a light rider available every day.
