Goal(s)

Improve precision in directing the lunge line.

Process

Place your horse on a small circle. Once the circle is completed, ask for a larger circle, then proceed onto a straight line. Perform a large circle at the end of this straight line, then ask for a smaller circle. You can perform this exercise at all three gaits.

Difficulties

Start first at the walk. The higher the gait, the more challenging the exercise becomes.
