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.
What is the real purpose of lunging? Since I joined this forum, I have seen lots and lots of people talk about lunging their horse every day or before every ride. I was just wondering what the purpose was. I understand that sometimes lunging must be done with equipment like side reins for training purposes or if you have a cold backed horse.
