Lungeing And Long – Reining – Jennie Loriston – Clarke

This latest edition of Lungeing and Long-Reining is a step-by-step guide to training, exercising and suppling horses from the ground, written by Britain’s leading exponent of the art. Published in association with the British Horse Society this book begins with advice on handling untrained youngsters and works through a logical training progression, culminating in advanced dressage movements. 

Straightforward guidance is given on: training foals and young horses, lungeing equipment and technique, introducing long-reins and early lateral work, backing and riding young horses, lungeing over poles and fences, piaffe and passage and more. Illustrated with specially commissioned sequence photographs, this book will prove particularly valuable in the early training of young horses, as well as in improving or retraining older horses, and refining dressage movements in advance horses.

Reviews:

‘A step-by-step guide to the art of training, exercising and suppling horses from the ground, by one of the world’s leading exponents of the art. Starting with training foals and young horses, Jennie works through to perfecting in-hand piaffe and passage.’ 

‘Often lunging is rushed through in the trainer s eagerness to get the horse going under saddle, which surely is the ultimate aim when a horse is being broken in. In this beautifully illustrated book Lorison-Clarke shows how lunging and long reining can be used to firstly establish the horse s basic education, but also how to use this with older, difficult horses. Loriston-Clarke s knowledge, and willingness to share this, shines through in the text of this book. It is written in an easy to read, no nonsense style that will make this book one that can be dipped into over and over again.
