Lunging

[Ash and Belle]

Can anyone share with me their tecnique on how to teach the horse (and rider, lol) how to lunge. Thanks its very much appreciated.

Is your horse over the colic?

Lunging (or better, long lining ) is really something you need to learn from an instructor in person.

Ok thanks I will look into that, also not sure she doesn't seem to have changed.

I may have thought this a tad harsh. Until I read the further 3 posts ?

I am confused about the further 3 posts, what did you see that made you think I was 12?

You have a 26 year old horse that may or may not have colic, lives on his own and you want to teach him to lunge and lie down so you can ride him bareback. You are surely making this up or you are very young, I know which one I’m going for .....

I wouldn't be lunging an oldie, it's very hard on the joints

^^^ I agree. There is another post on here about lunging a 4yo after injury.

In both cases a big "no-no" in my humble opinion.

If you want a knackered horse this is the best way to go about it.
