The Forest Resources Assessment Programme. The Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) benefits greatly from the consistent use of clear terms. and definitions. It is conducted once every five years with the next assessment scheduled for release in. September 2015.
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.
Some use it just for exercising and see it as an aid in getting their horse fit. Others use to it take the edge off their horse if they feel he might be a handful when they ride. Some people lunge to teach their horses to carry themselves and engage their hindquarters better.
