Longeing aids for an effective longeing session
Longeing is an excellent way to condition a horse and improve its balance. To achieve these goals, however, it is important to use the lunge line correctly and to use the best possible longeing aids. We have summarized for you on this page which accessories are indispensable for longeing work and what you should pay attention to when buying.
Longeing equipment for you and your horse: This is essential equipment
Longeing is much more for a horse than just walking in circles. If a horse has developed a bad gait due to incorrect longeing aids or improper use of this equipment, this harms the horse both physically and mentally. Incorrect walking on the lunge line damages the muscles and also causes mental stress for the horse. Therefore, it is important, on the one hand, that only experienced people allow their horse to walk on the lunge line and, on the other hand, that they use the right longeing equipment.
The longeing aid: This is how you show your horse the way down
A classic longeing aid consists of a long, thin rope, which is usually led between the front legs and buckled into the bit rings. It is there to show the horse the way down, without restricting it sideways. The longeing aid is not fixed sideways, but can be moved over the back. We offer you a comfortable longeing aid for ponies, thoroughbreds and warmbloods from our manufacturer Waldhausen. In addition, the manufacturer also offers a complete longeing system with various adjustment options. You can use this for horses with very different training levels.
Caveson or longeing halter for tying up the horse during longeing?
With a caveson you can optimally promote stretching or longitudinal bending in your horse. With this longeing aid you can make the training work with your horse even more effective. With a caveson a ring is placed in the middle of the nose, over which you can give your horse very fine impulses. The more punctual the caveson lies, the more force is exerted on the individual points. From our manufacturer Busse we offer you a caveson made of sturdy webbing material which is excellently suited for longeing work. You can also buy an anatomically shaped caveson with an underpadded poll piece. The leather is very supple and offers your horse optimal comfort.
Alternatively, you can also use a longeing halter for longeing. From our manufacturer Kerbl we offer you a high-quality longeing halter made of a wear-resistant material with strong seams.
