QuickTip of the Day


LONGEING-
Longeing is a basic form of training a horse. In most cases, "breaking" or "gentling" of a horse is done with the practice of longeing.
Although most times longeing is done with a long rope, called a longe line, for trotting and walking a lead rope will do.
Longeing helps the horse to move squarely and rhythmically, listening intently to owner's/rider's directions.
Try to give your horse a challenge by making big and small circles around you and change directions often.
