Lunging v long reining

[ellis9905]

So do people tend to just do one or other or do you tend to do both?

What are the benefits of one over the other?

We have my daughters sec a, who needs lots of exercise to help keep the weight off, my daughter rides several times a week and I lunge - but am too heavy to ride him myself. I also walk him out in hand.

Was wondering about starting to long rein him and what the benefits to this would be??

Thanks

I always long rein my horse as his very big so don't like to much stress on his joints if I can help it , I long rein him everywhere he loves it .

I do a bit of both. Both are good exercise and long reining is exercise for you too

I do more lunging I would say. But nothing wrong with some varied work
