Re: [RC] lunging pre-ride - D'Arcy Demianoff-ThompsonExcellent points Sandy. In particular, "unless well schooled in the effort, it can be hazardous," and I might add. If you don't lunge a horse in at least a 60 - 60 foot diameter you are placing too much pressure on the inside leg/shoulder. This alone could not only be hazardous but downright miserable for the horse that is then asked to give 50-100 miles.
