Lunging is a method we use to exercise a horse or to teach him something new without a rider on his back. A horse is controlled by the person doing the lunging, so we also use lunging for teaching riders; the person on the ground controls the horse's speed and direction, and the rider can focus on him/herself.
The tools you use for lunging are a halter, line, and lunge whip. You can lunge your horse in either a rope halter or a regular web halter. You would use a rope halter, which is sometimes called a cowboy halter, for a horse that is just learning to lunge.
