Do you all just use a bridle or a cavesson and bridle or something? Images would be fab! I lung my horse in a headcollar with a slip and attach the lines and side reins to his bit and do similar with my daughters pony but her bridle isn't ideal for this so just out interest wondering what you all use? I have to lunge them on 2 lines as my daughters pony just goes like a giraffe with her head turned to the outside otherwise and just gets so strong.
 
I either thread the lunge reins through roller rings and onto bit.

Or as above but to side rings of lunge Cavesson ( with or without a bridle on horse)

Or if working in a saddle, i secure stirrups to horses side with an old stirrup leather or string under belly,vand thread lunge reins through stirrups and attach to bit, or lunge cavesson

Above depends on level of horses training, I start young horses so I adapt things.

I find lungeing with two reins a very useful tool!
 
If I use a headcollar - I use a smaller size headcollar and clip each rein to the side rings.

If I need a bit I have a specific bit with big rings and I have that in a single strap (that I think is sold to go with a chiffeny ) and then I clip to the bit rings.
I keep this as a lunging 'bridle' albeit it's not much of a bridle !

This is what I use on my horse - i think its called a slip!
