Lunge Cavessons and Lunge Reins

Lungeing is an effective way to exercise, assess and educate a horse from the ground. Choosing the right equipment helps improve communication while keeping both horse and handler comfortable.

Lunge Cavessons

A lunge cavesson is a specially designed noseband fitted with rings across the nose, allowing the lunge rein to be attached without clipping directly to the bit. Favoured by many trainers for groundwork and young horse education, it offers versatility for lunging and in-hand work.

Lunge Reins

Lunge reins are available in a variety of materials, including cotton webbing, nylon and leather. Each offers a different feel and weight, allowing riders to choose the option that best suits their horse and training style.

Side Reins and Draw Reins

Training aids should always be correctly fitted and used as part of a thoughtful training program appropriate to the horse's level of education.

Side Reins

Side reins attach from the surcingle or saddle to the bit, providing a consistent contact during lunging. They are commonly used by experienced riders and trainers as part of a structured groundwork program and should always be adjusted to suit the individual horse.

Draw Reins

Draw reins are an additional rein used by some experienced riders during ridden work. They provide extra influence when used correctly but require sympathetic hands and an understanding of correct training principles.

If you're considering draw reins, it's important they are fitted and used appropriately for your horse and training goals.

Lunge Whips, Surcingles and Rollers

Lunge Whips

A lunge whip is an extension of the handler's arm, helping provide clear direction and encouraging the horse to move forward while maintaining a safe working distance. It should be used as a communication aid rather than for punishment.

Surcingles and Rollers

A surcingle (or roller) fits around the horse's body in place of a saddle and features multiple rings for attaching side reins and other training equipment. Often used during groundwork and lunging, it provides flexibility for a variety of training exercises.

Choosing the Right Lungeing Equipment

The best lungeing equipment depends on your horse's level of training and the type of groundwork you plan to do.
