Lunging Horses

Adendorf, Germany

Lunging Horses is the English home of A Course in Lunging, the science-based lungeing method created in 2008 by international trainer and clinician Babette Teschen (with Tania Konnerth and Lisa Kittler). Run from Adendorf in northern Germany and taught worldwide, it turns lungeing from aimless circling into purposeful gymnastic training. The method is built on biomechanics and horse welfare: working the horse in correct bend along the whole spine with active hindquarters to build strength, fitness and suppleness, in body and mind. It deliberately rejects harmful shortcuts such as lungeing off the bit or strapping horses into restrictive gadgets. It suits owners, trainers and riders at every level, from starting young horses to rehabilitating problem horses and preparing dressage and jumping partners. Learning is fully online: a Starter Bundle (a 180-page e-book, an ~80-minute seminar and a video media library) plus six in-depth modules covering healthy lungeing, equine movement, problem-solving, marker training, riding figures and lateral work, with a free Mastering Healthy Lunging e-book and a 60-day money-back guarantee. The method is regularly recommended by leading German equestrian publications.
