Ride 1: Lunging to Improve the Canter

Laine Ashker

Ride Length: 35 minutes

In this first practical session of the Building a Balanced Canter Mini-Pack, Laine Ashker guides you through a lunging session that can be used to create quality at the canter. Laine is a big believer in lunging, scheduling time for all of her horses to work on the lunge line each week.

Laine will talk you through your set-up on the lunge line before starting the session, providing tips for better engagement and quality at the canter, without the additional worry of our own riding.

Recommended Equipment:

  • Square jump/all-purpose pad

  • Lunge line

  • Surcingle + side reins (Note: Only use these if you and your horse are experienced with lunging in side reins. If your horse does not stretch on their own on the lunge already, you should not use a surcingle and side reins.)
