First Lungeing Training Session: Welcome to the Free Lungeing Training eCourse
Reading time: 3 min
Hello, horsey friend–
Thank you for signing up to our Lungeing Training eCourse and supporting our project!
This is the first email of our continuous email series. Before we start answering your pressing questions about lungeing, we would like to o share how lungeing training started and what this platform is about.
The idea:
Sue started about a while ago supporting a Chicago vaulting team to train horses for vaulting. Everyone knows, that for equestrian vaulting you need a well-lunged horse.
“I made my sister send me Lauffer side reins because I couldn’t order them anywhere, or they were extraordinary expensive. While complaining
to my sister that I couldn’t get the lungeing equipment we use in Germany, we figured out a significant difference: In the US most people don’t practice lungeing in the way it is practiced in Europe to train pleasure as well as top dressage horses,” explains Sue.
She started showing local friends exercises for lungeing as the perfect cross-exercise to riding.
Lungeing is like Pilates for horses —
A stretching and gymnastic exercise for horses while the horse is working out on a circle at a lunge line.
The interest and demand grew and first success stories were shared – these will be featured on our blog. Many appreciated this cross-exercise, and were looking for alternatives to simply letting the horses out in the field or riding them:
“I don’t get to ride my Arabian as much as I would like to. With lungeing I found a way to let him blow some steam off and already work him in a stretching and gymnastic way before getting on him . Not to forget the safety advantage! The great result is a soft and relaxed horse for riding — even I don’t train him regularly.” – Barb, owner of an eight-year-old Arabian gelding.
With the growing demand, the idea was born to offer lungeing on a larger scale: an online platform to introduce lungeing exercises, feature different horses trained with these methods, and a forum where you can send in your questions and create a dialogue.
