Have you ever been lunging your horse and found yourself saying, "Whoa there, Tonto!" a few too many times? That moment when your horse suddenly goes from calm and focused to rushing around the circle, tripping over their own legs?

In this episode of The Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians, Lorna dives into why rushing on the lunge is rarely about disobedience, and almost always about balance.

You'll learn how to use half halts on the lunge to help your horse build rhythm, relaxation, and self-carriage, while becoming more aware of how your own posture, tone, and timing shape every stride.

If you're ready to create smoother, more connected rides, on the ground and in the saddle, this one's for you.
