Lunging without a cavesson

Firstly sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I dont know where else to

Where do you attach the lunge line to the bridle?
Have you got any pics to show this?

Also how do you hold the lunge line without wrapping it around your hand

Thanks

put the lunge line through the bit from outside in, take it round with the bridle and over the poll, the back round to the other side of the bit and clip it on there, then change it over when you change the rein.

As for not wrapping it round your hand, makes S shapes with it grabbing the middle of the S and not the loops, sorry that isn't helpful

Ill try and find a pic

I've beenshown to go under the chin and through the other side of the bit ring. Is this considered wrong, cruel or just another way? No one has said anything otherwise

Over the poll will give you slightly more control and I find doesnt pull the bit rings together as much which can be annoying.

Practise with the lunge line at home before actually lunging. Clip the end onto something then let it out and practise winding it back in without wrapping it round your hand. It's worth looking a bit daft lunging without a horse because when there's a horse involved you'll have a lot more to think about all at the same time!

Yeah,.phew, thanks here too Thinking more about the pole thing, if I were to lunge Ellie like that, I think she'd flip I have her in an elevator now because she hates to much pressure there. It might be intresting to try though
