• Lunge line or rope, preferably 20 meters long or more.

• Lungeing caveson or head collar.

• Gloves for you: if the horse tries to pull away, the rope will burn or cut your hand if you are not wearing gloves. Speaking from experience, here!

Optional equipment:-

• Bridle with snaffle bit to fit under the caveson.

• Saddle with stirrups removed or tied up.

• Side-reins. These maintain the horse’s outline and support him with a steady contact on the bit.

• Protective boots for the horse. As the horse is constantly on a circle, the chances of him brushing his legs against each other increases.

• Lunge whip - as long as you do not use it to threaten the horse. If used, it should be for gently coaxing the horse to go forward.
