Lunging Horses - Why Bother?

موقع أيام نيوز

aim to use my whip thoughtfully no threatening or stagecoach cracking. If my horse ignores my cluck and whip gesture I promptly cast the lash toward him to flick him with the tassel a bit like fly fishing I guess. Enough to wake him up but not to flee.
Tug of war When its hard to discern whos lunging whom lunging becomes a tugofwar. The lunge line should always be soft between the horse and the lunger. I insist that the horse find his own balance and not pull on me. Lightness to my hand on the lunge translates to lightness to my rein aids. 
مع وصول أونصة الذهب إلى مستويات قياسية تجاوزت 2500 دولار، يجد المواطن المصري نفسه مضطراً لموازنة استثماراته بين الذهب واحتياجاته الأخرى، خاصة مع ارتفاع أسعار السيارات مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، وبي إم دبليو، مما يزيد من التحديات المالية التي يواجهها.
Using a rope halter Figure 2 or lunging cavesson Figure 3 provides more control and focused pressure if needed. Lunging with a plain halter invites the horse to lug on pressure or even head out of the circle on a tangent. A human is no match for a 1000pound animal on a beeline for the gate. An experienced lunger builds a rapport through lunging. Her hand communicates a thoughtful and timely resist and release. For such a handler using a chain over the nose Figure 4 can afford more motivation for finetuned communication. The horse feels no pressure as long as he stays within the perimeter of the circle. Training systems vary some horsemen thread the line through the bit and over the poll clipping to the opposite side Figure 5. Because I build toward side reins connected to the bit I opt to attach the line elsewhere to avoid conflicting signals.
