Description
Why lunging to ‘take the edge off’ doesn’t work for horses...in this episode I’m breaking down one of the biggest myths in the horse world: that lunging a fresh, spooky or tense horse will magically calm them down.
We talk about:
- why lunging often increases tension
- how adrenaline affects your horse’s behaviour
- what to do instead to create connection, calm and confidence
- simple groundwork that regulates your horse without exhausting them
- nervous system resets for both horse and rider
Perfect for riders who deal with spooky horses, anxiety, loss of confidence, rushing, over-reactivity, and pre-ride nerves.
