What is Free Lunging a Horse?

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Kelli and this is Covey and on behalf of Expert Village, we are going to show you my options and techniques on how to free lunge your horse. Free lunging is when you are in a structure such as this. This is round pen, it is close circular arena, it is nice and small, it is a circular form so you can have your horse go around without you having a lunge line attached to it. So basically what you would do is bring your whole horse in here and they are going to be free. Free to do what they want basically. You want to make sure that your horse is pretty well trained in order to be able to do this but they listen to voice commands very well. They are not too crazy. If you have one that is a little bit more in the unruly side, it can be a little bit dangerous to do the free lunging but if you have one that is a little bit more trained in/or a little bit more decal, it is absolutely a nice way to exercise your horse without having to have a lunge line or if you have arena that is full of people and you don't necessarily have run to lunge your horse. This is a nice way to do it."
