[ROLEPLAY] Lunging is life!

On the lunge line.

 

Lunging, simply put is an effective and easy way to train and exercise your horse. Involving your horse moving in a large circle around the handler which is attached typically via a long rein, and should be practiced in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.

 

Here at Briarwood, we love a good lunge line session in the early morning, I know I and a few others of the instructor team here come out every morning to work our horses and clients' horses on the lunge line before lessons and rides out from the stables. There truly is no better way to start your morning than drinking your preferred beverage and letting the horses fresh from turnout have some time to express their energy, and exercise for the day.

 

Oh! And I almost forgot to introduce you to my new homebred [see a girl can change! He isn't imported] this is a very special horse who is just coming up now through his training, and has found his place as my new western prospect for the year. Though I love my two boys who I have currently been winning on, I don't think it's fair to constantly ride them month after month in competition with very few breaks from training. So as you have all seen now, we have my new dressage mare who is a superstar 'Black Swan', and now this very promising young horse.

 

This is The SandMan, or as we at the barn know him 'Tony'. He is one of the first homebred horses we produced from my stallion The CandyMan, and I think we can all come together and agree that it was the right choice for me to keep this one.

 

He has all the movement and power you want in a western horse and he has come up through training with a strong backend and a good mind, he has all the things that made his daddy great going for him and more! Solid framed, strong feet, a large stride, and of course he is show-stoppingly beautiful. As you all know I'm very much a girl of my aesthetics, and I do firmly believe there's no such color as a good horse. But when the good horse happens to be the right color, it does help.

 

He does have some babies on the ground now and will have more babies on the ground coming forwards as will his sire. But we are focusing heavily on training, so- sorry for the disjointed introduction of this boy.
