Lungeing



Lungeing should be part of every horse's training. It is invaluable for assessing your horse from the ground and building correct muscles in preparation for ridden work.






The Claire Lilley Lunge Kit consists of three items:









  • The Chambon for stretching work



  • Side reins for establishing a steady contact to the bit



  • The Feeline which makes double lungeing on a circle and long-reining on straight lines easy.

I have been riding Ruby for a few weeks now- we had our first canter today! She is Half-sister to new boy Louis. Its so satisfying bringing on the youngsters- they are so trusting!


We have a new horse- eight month old Louis - he is very cute!
