How Long Do You Lunge For?

[3Beasties]

As title

I don't tend to lunge for more then 20 minutes at a time but I have recently started lunging my TB and he takes a long time to settle and relax. I was thinking of Lunging him for half an hour at a time, 10 minutes with nothing on and then 20 minutes with a Passoa.

Does this sound OK? I don't want to overdo it with him.

depends on age, fitness for me..my tb in work works with pesoa for ten mins on each rein!

 

[cumbriamax]

tbh dont lunge v. often tho.

We do 10mins warm up, then about 10mins on each rein all in all but we change reins quite regularly within that.

I do half an hour, 5mins walk both reins, put pessoa on, 10mins walk/trot both reins then 5mins each rein to cool off.

I'm not keen on lungeing, I get bored with it but if I've not got much time and still want to work Pads then that's what I do

20-30 mins, changing rein regularly and a good few mins warm up and cool down.

30 mins max. I'm waiting for a new saddle so cant ride at the mo. I wouldnt normally lunge more than twice a week but its my only way of exercising Coop right now We do something slightly different each day though. Sometimes I use a lunging aid and sometimes i'll lunge in just a cavesson over poles and blocks for him to jump. Just so he isnt bored.

20 mins max, 10 - 15, if she's working hard in an outline. 5 mins on each rein in side reins

With one line on a circle no more than about 20 mins work (plus a warm up and cool down. With two lines using the whole arena, different exercises etc then I think its fair to do a bit more.
