Lunging lessons
– improve your seat and balance
A lunge lesson is a riding lesson where an instructor guides the horse on the lunge (basically a lead rope or a lunge line) and the horse travels around the instructor in a circle. This is a very good method for beginning riders because with someone else controlling the horse, the riders can concentrate on their balance and seat position and begin to develop what are called independent seat and hands. Lunging lessons can also be very good for experienced riders as it allows them to concentrate on certain areas of their position. Every lesson is private and conducted by a certified riding instructor.
Lunging lesson (40 min) – inside: Price 13.500 ISK
