In this area I will try to explain how to start a horse longeing properly. This is a very important basic, for it not only teaches a horse discipline, but also leads the horse into further basics. Longeing is an exercise technique in which the handler remains pivoting in one spot or moving in a small circle while the horse moves in a larger circle around the handler on the end of a longe line. It is done on a circle with the horse held and controlled by a longe rein.
Control is maintained by use of the handler's voice body position and a longe whip.
Retraining the spoiled horse. Exercising the horse when it cannot be ridden. Teaching a pupil to ride. Positional corrections of a pupil with exercises to improve balance and coordination. The longe line is snapped to the inside ring on the halter and changed to the opposite ring when reversed.
