Longeing (USA) or lungeing (UK English, informal USA) is a technique for training horses, where a horse is asked to work at the end of a long line and respond to commands from a handler on the ground who holds the line. It is also a critical component of the sport of equestrian vaulting. Longeing is performed on a large circle with the horse traveling around the outside edge of a real or imaginary ring with the trainer in the middle. By lunging your horse, you are given the ability to watch him from the ground, so you can monitor his movement, his soundness and his natural frame. It is also a chance to teach your horse voice commands which can then carry over to your riding,which is great in case of an emergency.
