Every week, I make sure to give my horses enough time for free lunging. This is essential not only for their physical health but also mental well-being as it allows freedom of movement and expression which are crucial elements in equine psychology.
Learning how to lunge your horses correctly takes patience, dedication and guidance from an experienced tutors who have spent years mastering this craft.
It may seem like simple task at first glance; however fine tuned movements with voice commands combined balance control create harmony between human and animal.

I can never have enough of the spring season, especially when I am with my long-time partner Serpa, who enjoys fresh grass after our wonderful training session.

It has become clear to me that aging itself does not bring wisdom. It often brings regression to childishness, dependency, and bitterness over lost opportunities. Only those who are still intellectually, emotionally, spiritually growing inherit the richness of aging. ~ James Hollis

My riding teacher Melissa Simms once told me: “Remember, no matter what you must not kill the spirit in your horses you are working with. Once it is gone, it is forever.”

I am doing my best and I love it. I do the same with my daughter too.

Here is the prove. My student with her Friesian after the session when saddle and bridle were taken off 🙂.
