our horses do walk on the lunge but if I am going to walk them I will either hand walk or ride them - at a walk. Too much opportunity to get cranking on a lunge line with the horse a number of feet away.
>>>>greetings listers.. newbie question alert :)just wondering what folks think/do about lunging pre-ride. Whilst I've had my gazi over a year.. i 've just recently started lunging him.. not so much to use energy, but so he's generally more responsive and listening .just inquiring as to >>>>what's worked for y'all
I never trot until my horse has walked a full 15 minutes. I have definitely never seen anyone lunging at a walk, at least not for 15 min. I do know horses who have tied up on a lunge line and the circumstances at a ride...long trailer in, kept in a small pen all night...very fit horse, are really asking for it.
